Minted peas with grilled lamb cutlets.Jennifer Soo

easyTime:< 30 minsServes:2

A very simple but splendid way to enjoy freshly podded peas, this recipe is quick and very versatile and works equally well with roast pork belly or poached chicken.

Ingredients

2 cups podded peas
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp chopped mint
pinch salt flakes
6 lamb cutlets

Method

Pre-heat a barbecue or ribbed stovetop grill. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the peas and cook for 2 minutes until they are soft. Drain in a colander and place in a dry saucepan.
Add half the olive oil, the butter, chopped mint and salt flakes to the peas and mix and crush with a fork. Keep hot while you cook the lamb.
Brush the lamb cutlets with the remaining oil and season with salt, sear on the hot grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve with the crushed peas and boiled new season potatoes and rocket leaves.
