Lamb cutlets?
How long would you fry them for is 5 minutes on each side ok .

Also do you need to cook it with oil .

Thank you

a cutlet is not very thick so quick cooking is in order. not more than a couple minutes per side. Yes I would use a little olive oil flavored with a smashed garlic clove and a few sprigs of rosemary (saute the aromatics for a minute then take them out then put in the cutlets.) Make sure you season beofre cooking with salt and pepper.

with all due respect to robo, and i mean that, i think i'll scream if someone says put rosemary and garlic on lamb.

i like thin cuts of lamb really plainly fried (in just a touch of evoo in a non-stick pan), or even breaded milanese style. let the 'baa come through on leaner cuts.

i also like a middle eastern approach, with turmeric, thyme, cumin, bay, cloves, s&p, and a hint of garlic.

with all due respect to buckytom, also meant, I didn't say put it on the lamb (often way too strong) but lightly flavor the oil with it for a minute. And yes there are many other flavorings from curries to lemon and onion. Also great with a lightly cinnamon'd tomato sauce.

darn, you just had to say cinnamon. for some weird reason, i like it when others say they've added it to their delicious dishes, but (like rosemary), when i use it, it's all i can taste. i don't know if it's just in my head or i have a sensitivity to both.
i'm getting better with rosemary lately, and i'm tempted to buy fresh "canela" at the farmer's market and give it a try.

use fresh grated cinnamon stick (micro plane makes a great small spice grater) go easy with it...I think you'll like it. And rosemary I like to use fresh and keep it on the twig and not chop it but just let it infuse whatever ... I'll tie it to the outside of a roast ... gives a hint of flavor rather than a slap your face presence.

Don't often buy lamb. Find it very bland.

A couple of years ago we went to London and the local pub, God bless the locals, had lamb rump on the menu. We both ordered it that day and for the next several days until they ran out. It tasted like the lamb we both knew as kids.

Most lamb we get here just has very little flavor so we rarely buy it.

But to me five minutes a side on a thin slice of lamb is a bit too long, at least for my tastes.

Lamb, in my humble opinion, should be pink in the center.

Tough to cook that way on a thin slab.
