Lamb Cutlets
Full product description
Delicate, tender and elegant on the plate, lamb cutlets (single rib chops) cook in minutes and bring proper lamb flavour with a gorgeous caramelised edge. Each cutlet carries a neat eye of meat and a little fat that bastes as it sears. Keep seasoning simple—salt, pepper, rosemary and a knob of butter—or brush with a quick glaze. Perfect for pan, grill or BBQ, and ideal for sharing platters or speedy suppers.

FAQs
Are lamb cutlets the same as rib chops?
Yes—single chops taken from the rack, often frenched for a tidy bone.
Can I cook them pink?
Absolutely—these shine when served blushing; follow the temperature guide and rest well.
Do they need marinating?
Not essential. Salt, pepper and a little rosemary or lemon are spot on. A quick marinade adds extra lift if you fancy.
Best pan for searing?
A heavy frying pan or cast iron for maximum crust.
