Ingredients

12 French trimmed lamb cutlets

Salt & cracked black pepper

6 slices prosciutto, halved lengthways

2 tbsp olive oil

Pea puree

1 tbsp butter

1 garlic clove, crushed

3 shallots (green onions), finely chopped

2½ cups frozen peas

½ cup chicken stock

Salt and cracked pepper

Method

1.

Season lamb with salt and pepper. Wrap each cutlet with a piece of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick through the side.

2.

To make pea puree; melt butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and stir for 1 min. Add peas and stock and cover. Steam for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and season. Using a stick blender or food processor, pulse mixture until most peas are pureed to a dip consistency but some remain whole. Cover to keep warm.

3.

Pour oil into a large non-stick frying pan and heat on medium-high. Add cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes each side for medium done. Remove toothpicks. Serve on a platter with pea puree.
