- Combine the oregano, 2 garlic cloves, 50ml of olive oil and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper, then rub the herby mixture into the lamb.
- Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the broad beans for 3 minutes, drain then cool a little under running water and slip the bright green beans from the skin.
- Replace the pot and cook the peas in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and rinse in running water until they are just warm.
- Chop the beans and peas roughly, then add half the mixture to a mortar and pestle with the garlic, mint and a little salt. Pound to a rough paste, gradually adding the remainder of the beans, peas and olive oil.
- To make the vinaigrette, whisk the vinegar, olive oil, garlic and mustard in a little saucepan. Season. Warm gently over medium-low heat. When ready to serve, stir through the crumbled fetta.
- Cook the cutlets on a hot barbecue or griddle pan for a few minutes each side until golden brown. Top with the broad bean paste and spoon over the warmed fetta vinaigrette. Scatter with the optional olives and then serve.
Tips
- Choose the smallest lamb racks available because the meat is always sweeter and juicier. This ensures the dish is even yummier.
- With small racks, cut double cutlets (with two bones) or ask your butcher to do it for you to ensure the meat stays moist and pink when cooked.
