The Lamb Cutlet comes from the same cut as the rack of lamb. It is one of the most tender cuts of any meat.
Crumbed cutlets are a favorite amongst Kiwis and Aussies. Some recipes are quite inventive but this simple recipe is a popular one and a great place to start.
These cutlets go well by themselves, with mashed potato, steamed or baked vegetables or with a salad.
