Marinated lamb cutlets with warm lentil and rice pilaff
Method
2. Add the lamb to the spice mixture and toss well. Cover with cling film and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, bringing to room temperature in the last 30 minutes.
3. To cook the pilaff, bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the lentils and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile make the ginger and tomato sauce. Gently fry the chilli, garlic, onion and ginger in some oil until you start to smell the aromas. Add the tomatoes and cook for 25 minutes.
5. Now add the rice and lemon half to the pilaff and cook for a further12 -15 minutes, or until the lentils and rice are tender. Drain, discarding the lemon, and place in a serving bowl.
6. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium to high heat. When hot, add the olive oil and the onion, and fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the onion is a rich golden brown (don't worry if they catch a bit), stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
7. Sprinkle the pilaff with sea salt, lots of freshly ground pepper, parsley and half of the fried onion. Stir to combine.
8. Heat a frying pan over a high heat for 1 minute. Add the marinated cutlets and cook for 1-2 minutes, turn and cook for another minute for medium rare.
9. Serve the lamb cutlets with the warm lentil and rice pilaff, sprinkling the remaining fried onion over the rice, some ginger and tomato sauce and lemon wedges.
