👩‍🍳 How to Make Spiced Lamb Cutlets – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Marinate the Cutlets

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and all spices. Coat lamb cutlets in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Preheat the Grill or Pan

Heat a grill pan or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Cook the Lamb

Cook cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges, yogurt sauce, or couscous.
