Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup zaatar

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for frying

  • 12 lamb cutlets, trimmed

  • ¼ cup burghul

  • 1 bunch curly parsley, finely chopped

  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 cup store-bought hummus

  • charred pita, to serve

  • pickled chillies, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Mix the zaatar and sesame seeds together in a small bowl, then spread out on a plate. Brush both sides of the lamb with oil and press the cutlets into the zaatar mix. 

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. In two batches, cook the lamb for 2-3 minutes each side for medium. Set aside loosely covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While the lamb is resting, place the burghul in a heatproof bowl. Pour over ½ cup boiling water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.   

  4. Step 4

    Fluff the burghul with a fork, add the spring onion, parsley and lemon juice and toss to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the lamb with parsley salad, hummus, pita and pickled chillies.
