Lamb Cutlets with Romesco Sauce

Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Romesco Sauce

Romesco is a Spanish sauce from the region of Catalonia, where a variation called salvitxada is served as a dip for calçots, local spring onions traditionally charred over open fires. Thick green onions or baby leeks make a good alternative. Since we’re talking Spain, Sherry is the perfect accompaniment, especially Barbadillo Oloroso which complements the sweet complexity of the romesco and the sweetness of the onions.

Serves 4

Ingredients
  • 12 lamb cutlets
  • 16 thick green onions or baby leeks
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for rubbing
  • Salt flakes, to taste
  • Romesco Sauce, for serving
  • Crusty bread, for serving
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 240ºC.
  2. Remove cutlets from the fridge 30 minutes or so before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
  3. Meanwhile, trim most of the green off the onions, leaving about 14cm above the bulb. Trim off the root, discard any wilted outer leaves, rinse, pat dry, rub well with oil and place in a baking dish in the oven for 30 minutes or so, until well coloured and tender, turning the overhead grill on for the last few minutes if necessary to make them slightly charred. This can be done while roasting vegetables for Romesco Sauce.
  4. Heat a char-grill pan or frying pan over medium–high heat.
  5. Rub cutlets with oil and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes or so each side, until cooked to your liking.
  7. Serve with charred onions, Romesco Sauce and plenty of bread.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
