Instructions
- Preheat grill (broiler) to medium. Line grill tray with foil.
- Beat egg in a shallow bowl.
- Put bread, parsley, mint, lemon zest, garlic, parmesan and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender and blend to a fine crumb mixture. Tip out onto a large plate.
- Dip cutlets or chops in beaten egg and turn to coat well on all sides. Then firmly press each into crumb mixture so that both sides are well coated. Put on grill tray.
- Grill cutlets about 5 minutes each side, or until crumbs are dark golden. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Serve the lamb with a green salad. Vary the recipe by using different herbs in the crumb mixture. Lime zest instead of lemon zest works well.
