Lamb Leg Steaks With Mint And Chilli

Asked by Pataniain. Answered on 21st February 2020

Full question

The recipe for Lamb Cutlets with Mint And Chilli is wonderful - could it be adapted to lamb leg steaks? I usually grill the steaks (not always successfully) and wonder if this recipe would work for them.

Lamb Cutlets With Mint, Chilli & Golden Potatoes

Our answer

Nigella's Lamb Cutlets With Mint, Chilli & Golden Potatoes (from NIGELLISSIMA) marinates and then pan-fries lamb cutlets (Frenched lamb rib chops) and serves them with steamed and flash fried baby potatoes.

We suspect that the recipe would also work for lamb leg steaks as they pan fry well. The thickness of lamb leg steaks varies considerably so you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly, but the marinating time is short so should remain the same. You may also like to try NIgella's recipe for Lamb With Rosemary And Port as this recipe uses leg steaks.
