For the lamb
- 100 g coconut yoghurt or organic full fat Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp harissa paste
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4-8 lamb cutlets depending on the size
For the chunky green dressing
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 50 g pitted green olives
- 1 large handful flat leaf parsley
- Pinch sea salt
To serve
- Hasselback potatoes
- British asparagus roasted
- Pomegranate seeds optional
Place the yoghurt, harissa paste, cumin and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a shallow bowl and mix to combine. Add the lamb cutlets and turn to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
To make the dressing, place the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, olives, parsley and salt in a small food processor and process to a chunky consistency. Set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the lamb cutlets for 3 -4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Divide the cutlets between serving plates and serve with hasselback potatoes and roasted asparagus. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds to serve.
