Ingredients (serves 4)
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 4 lamb backstraps
* 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 2 lemons, rind finely grated
* 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
* 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 120°C. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a baking tray. Place in oven to keep warm while you cook remaining lamb.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil to pan and heat until hot. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until soft. Stir in lemon rind, olives and parsley. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice lamb and arrange on plates. Serve with garlic and olive sauce.
Tips & Chef’s suggestion:
Peppery rocket and roasted kipfler potatoes are the perfect partners for pan-fried lamb.
