introduction
method

- Preheat a griddle, heavy based frying pan or BBQ for direct grilling.
- Season the cutlets then render the fat before searing on the both sides over high heat turning the cutlets a couple of times once a rich, dark crust has formed, reducing the heat if the lamb meat is getting too charred.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes each side for medium, pressing the meat with your thumb it should be slightly firm to touch and a core temperature of 54°C before resting for medium rare.
- Leave to rest in a warm place for half the cooking time before serving.
Method for remoulade

- Lightly salt the shredded celeriac in a colander and leave for 15 minutes then squeeze out the excess moisture in a clean tea towel.
- Mix together the mayo with mustard's, lemon and chopped dill then fold through the celeriac.
Method for home made mayonnaise
- Whisk together the egg yolk, mustard and vinegar & salt.
- Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken.
- Be careful adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
- Once all the oil has been whisked into the egg and you have a thick mayonnaise like consistency add a squeeze of lemon and check for seasoning.
Method for Salsa Verde (Green sauce)

- Finely chop together the anchovy, garlic, gherkins & capers
- Finely chop the herbs and mix together
- Stir in the mustard then the oil & vinegar
- Taste for seasoning and reserve
Note:
This Italian style salsa goes great with grilled lamb and pork, simply spread on toasted bread or as a dip with crudités.
To serve:
Serve the cutlets with a dollop of remoulade, dressed salad leaves and a squeeze of lemon.
Note:
The remoulade goes perfectly well with cold meats, grilled chicken or as a sandwich filler with cold roast meats. I like to drink a chilled Rose from Provence with this dish for a true taste of late summer.
