No one does lamb cutlets better than the Italians and this recipe, which comes to me by way of the great Anna Del Conte, is a case in point. The nuggets of pink meat are so tender and flavourful that you just want to gnaw every morsel right off the bone.
And I can't tell you how heavenly these cutlets are, should you be lucky enough (and it's unlikely) to have some left over, snatched straight from the fridge the day after.
This recipe is perfect for Spring when lamb is in season. For more seasonal inspiration including Hummus with Seared Lamb and Toasted Pine Nuts and a delicious Eton Mess try these other Spring recipes from Nigella's collection.

Tried this tonight. Belissimo! Replaced Oregano with Tuscan Herbs as I didn't have any Oregano, and it was fantastic. The chilli is there but as a background taste rather than dominating the dish. Even my fussy husband complimented this dish, so that's a definite thumbs up! I also didn't add any additional water once all ingredients were in the pan and there was enough moisture. I will certainly be making this dish again.

So wonderfully easy and the results are scrumptious. This is becoming one of my favourite dishes.
