Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb cutlets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the lamb cutlets in a large, shallow dish.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, freshly chopped rosemary leaves, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the lamb cutlets, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the lamb cutlets from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Cook the lamb cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
