Ingredients

12 lamb cutlets

a small handful of fresh thyme, leaves picked

extra virgin olive oil

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

400g mushrooms, brushed clean and torn

a small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 lemon

2 handfuls of pinenuts

2 large handfuls of fresh basil

3-5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Slap the cutlets with the heel of your hand to flatten them slightly. Then bash up your thyme in a pestle and mortar and add a little olive oil. Mix together, then rub the oil over the cutlets and season both sides of them.

Cook the mushrooms dry on the bars of your hot griddle Just grill them on both sides to mark them and put them into a large bowl. Once the mushrooms are done you can put the lamb on the barbie.

When cooked, put the lamb cutlets into the bowl with the mushrooms and drizzle with a little olive oil. Tear over the parsley, in quite large pieces, and add a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season lightly and toss around. Place to one side to rest, to allow all the lovely juices to get sucked up by the mushrooms.

Meanwhile to make a really quick sauce. In a pestle and mortar pound up the pine nuts until you have a mushy pulp. Remove the mixture to a bowl, then use the pestle and mortar to bash the basil up into a pulp. Add this to the pine nuts and loosen with extra virgin olive oil so that the sauce easily drops off the end of a spoon. Now you need to balance it with quite a lot of balsamic vinegar to give it a good zing, almost like a mint sauce, but add it to taste. Give the lamb and mushrooms a final toss. serve this up on a big platter and let everyone help themselves. Have the sauce and a simple salad on the side.
