Lemon and Ginger Lamb Cutlets

If you are looking for an easy, versatile recipe for lamb cutlets then this could be the winner. The marinade is very simple; deliciously tasty using a combination of citrus lemon, fragrant coriander and the sweet intense heat of stem ginger.

Superb with lamb but ideally just as good with poultry.

Great cooked on the barbecue but just as good grilled on a high heat in the oven.

Simple, easy and perfect for everyone.
