Ingredients (Serves 4)

10 lamb chops, trimmed
175 g breadcrumbs
1 tbsp grated Parmesan
2 eggs, beaten with salt and pepper
Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Layer lamb chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin so they flatten a little.
  2. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Put beaten eggs in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour some oil into a frying pan, about 1/3-inch deep, over medium heat. Dip lamb chops in egg mixture then press in breadcrumbs before frying. Cook chops for about 3 minutes each side: they should be deep golden brown and crunchy outside, still tender pink inside.
