# Instructions:
01 -
Do this step the day ahead (if possible): Place the lamb cutlets into a large bowl and combine with the sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano and half tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well with your hands until the lamb cutlets are well coated in the spices. Leave to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes or ideally overnight.
02 -
In a large cast iron pan on a medium-high heat, bring 2 tablespoons of olive oil to heat. Add the lamb cutlets and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until a golden crust has formed on the outside. Flip over the cutlets and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
03 -
Add the butter, whole garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Once melted, baste the cutlets with the butter for an additional minute. The cutlet should still be quite tender to touch as we want them a little more on the underdone side for this step. If you are working with a smaller pan, do this step in batches. Remove the cutlets, garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs from the pan. Set the cutlets to the side and discard of the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs.
04 -
In the same pan on a medium heat, add the honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and minced garlic cloves and cook for 3 minutes or until the sauce is thick and sticky.
05 -
Turn the heat to low and add the cutlets back into the pan with the sauce. Baste the cutlets with the sauce for 1 minute on each side.
06 -
Sprinkle over fresh parsley and serve immediately.
