Brainy Lamb Cutlets with Buttery Butternut Squash...

 

 


What is a cutlet? Its a medium to thin slice of meat pounded or ground pan fried or grilled and served with a side of vegetables. 

In that case, for this dish, you will need to buy ground lamb to make as many ground cutlet patties as per dinner guest. To that, as sides, potatoes and baked squash.Take from your pantry: sea salt,  olive oil, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes and dried herb seasonings: rosemary, oregano, mint and sage or thyme.

Grab a covered skillet and add 4 tbs of olive oil. When the oil is just hot enough, lay in hand patted ground lamb cutlets, shake over the top the listed seasoning to taste. Fry on med/high heat both sides of the cutlet patties until browned, then reduce the heat and add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce over each cutlet patty. Cook until the meat if fully cooked but yet a bit pink on the inside.

In the meantime, turn on the oven and when hot enough, bake your potatoes and squash wrapped in foil. 

Serve the lamb patties in the au jus (adding a bit of olive oil) that remains in the skillet and a short pour of olive oil to dress them up. A snip of fresh mint or rosemary is a lovely garnish.
