Lamb Cutlets with a Dukkah Crumb served with a Yogurt Mint Dressing

As Winter is now well and truly with us here on the Beaches in Sydney, there's not much to do but light the fire, cook up some easy and delicious food and curate my collection of rustic vintage at the Beach House.  I actually felt bored yesterday, a most unusual feeling for me, as it rarely happens.  It was possibly because I decided to clean the mold off the blind  in my bedroom, change all the bed linen and move some chairs around so the room was colour co-ordinated.  Some serious housework often forces me to question my own existence, as it is the most soul destroying occupation on the planet I do believe, but as you ladies know...no one else is going to do it and it does clear the mind once it is accomplished.

And it was very nice to slip into the clean sheets, when bed time came around.

I've been moving things around a little, so come on in and check out how the Beach House Collection is currently curated.

If you are here for a quick and healthy lamb recipe, that is a little further down.

 The boys have been bringing home some nice sailing trophies lately, which I have happily put in the living room.

I can't get enough of cookbooks.  Love them!!!!

This blue chair came out of the bedroom to replace the pink and green wing back.

And now to my other love, cooking.  I don't mean the nightly mid week swill that is witching hour, but that lovely time on weekends, where you can hover for a little longer with a glass of wine and some good company over the food.  That is to me the antithesis of house work and when I know exactly why I was placed on this earth.  To damn well enjoy it.

Dukkah is an incredibly healthy and low GI alternative to bread crumbs.  It is a mix of ground roast nuts and spices, originating in Egypt and is readily available.  I've been experimenting with it.  This is a beautifully aromatic way to eat lamb.  You could do the same to racks of lamb, although cooking times will vary.

About 12 lamb cutlets Frenched

1/2 cup honey

1.5 cups dukkah spice mix

Olive oil spray for cooking

1 cup Greek style yoghurt

1 Lebanese cucumber peeled and diced

1 clove garlic crushed

1 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves.  Extra leaves to garnish

Salt and pepper to taste.

Spray a non stick pan with olive oil. Heat the pan over a high heat and quickly seal the lamb cutlets on both sides.

Place the honey into a bowl.

Place the dukkah into a paper towel next to your honey.

Remove the lamb cutlets from the pan and dip in the honey to coat.

Crumb the lamb with the dukkah

Line a baking tray with baking paper and cook lamb in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.  The cutlets should still be pink in the centre.

Serve with the Yogurt Mint Dressing
