    These are my cute little Lamb Lollipops with Herbs - tender, juicy lamb cutlets with a simple fresh herb and garlic crust grilled to perfection.

    OK - I know I have told you guys this many times before, but... I. Love. Lamb. The recipe I am bringing you today is using a favourite cut of lamb here in our house - lamb lollipops (lamb cutlets). These lamb lollipops have a simple herb crust that takes these to the next level with minimal ingredients - only three plus salt & pepper and olive oil, but maximum flavour!lamb cutlets in a grey frying pan

    My top tips for making this lamb cutlets recipe

    • How long you cook your lamb lollipops for on each side comes down to your personal preference. For me, cooking cuts of lamb like this is a bit like cooking a steak - some people like theirs pink in the centre, others don't!
    • These cutlets would also be great cooked on a bbq. They make great bbq or cookout fare - they even come with in-built handles!

    Ingredients

    • 12 lamb lollipops (cutlets) trimmed to your liking
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
    • 1½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Combine finely chopped rosemary (2 tablespoon of leaves) and finely chopped thyme (1½ tablespoon of leaves) then set aside.
    • Rub both sides of lamb cutlets with olive oil (2 tablespoon - there will be some leftover) and reserve the remaining oil for frying.
    • Sprinkle garlic powder (1 tsp) and salt and pepper (to taste) evenly between the cutlets - don't forget the back!
    • Then sprinkle each side of the cutlets with the combined rosemary and thyme.
    • Heat remaining olive oil in a pan, and fry cutlets (or grill/broil) over medium-high heat (turning once) until cooked to your liking (see notes).

    Notes

    • How long you cook your lamb lollipops for on each side comes down to your personal preference. For me, cooking cuts of lamb like this is a bit like cooking a steak - some people like theirs pink in the centre, others don't! For me, it's usually about 4 minutes on each side -  but keep in mind the thickness of the cutlet meat can vary a lot.
    • These cutlets would also be great cooked on a bbq. They make great bbq or cookout fare - they even come with in-built handles!
