BREADED LAMB CUTLETS



Breaded Lamb Cutlets image

This central European dish brings the breading technique to lamb, a meat with enough flavor and tenderness to taste great underneath a crunchy exterior. While cuts of meat from the loin or leg can be used, the medallions of meat from the rack are far superior in texture. It's not unusual to finish the dish with a sprinkle of white wine sauce, but you can skip that and simply squeeze some lemon juice over the lamb; that's what I usually do.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Twelve 1-inch-thick medallions of lamb, cut from 2 boneless racks (about 1 1/2 pounds) or the equivalent amount from the loin or leg
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Bread crumbs for dredging, preferably fresh (page 580), or panko (Japanese bread crumbs, page 8)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish, optional
2 lemons, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F. If using medallions from racks, press to a 1/2-inch thickness with the palm of your hand. If using cuts from the loin or leg, place the meat between sheets of wax paper and pound to a 1/2-inch thickness with a mallet or rolling pin. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, cumin, thyme, and garlic.
  • When the oil shimmers, remove the garlic and discard. Dip the lamb pieces into the egg, press into the bread crumbs on both sides, and add to the skillet. Do not crowd-you will have to cook in batches. When the meat is in the skillet, season it with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with a pinch of cumin.
  • Brown one side, then flip and brown the other; adjust the heat so that each side takes about 2 minutes. The meat should remain rare. Remove the pieces, drain, and then transfer to a warm platter in the oven. When all the pieces are done, drain the oil from the pan, leaving the browned bits, and then add the wine to the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer until it reduces by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Garnish the lamb with the parsley if you like and serve it alongside the wine sauce and lemon wedges.

Yield 6 goat cheese slices

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces soft mild goat cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup fine dry breadcrumb

Steps:

Tips:

  • Trim the lamb medallions properly: Make sure to remove any excess fat or sinew from the lamb medallions before cooking. This will help the lamb cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Season the lamb medallions generously: Season the lamb medallions with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before breading and cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
  • Use a light touch when breading the lamb medallions: Do not over-bread the lamb medallions, as this can make them tough. Simply coat the lamb medallions in the breadcrumb mixture and then shake off any excess.
  • Cook the lamb medallions over medium heat: This will help to prevent the lamb medallions from becoming tough or overcooked.
  • Serve the lamb medallions immediately: Once the lamb medallions are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite sides. This will ensure that the lamb medallions are hot and juicy.

Breaded lamb medallions are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked lamb medallions that are sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a special dish to serve, give breaded lamb medallions a try.
