Grilled lamb cutlets with green garlic
5 servings
15 minutes
Lamb patties with green garlic on the grill are a vibrant and aromatic dish from Spanish cuisine that combines the tenderness of meat with the spicy zest of spices. Historically in Spain, meat is preferred to be cooked over an open flame, allowing the flavors to fully develop. The green garlic used in the recipe gives the patties a fresh, mild yet rich aroma that harmonizes well with coriander and mustard. Grilling creates a delicious crust that seals in the juices of the meat. These patties are perfect for summer evenings outdoors when you want to enjoy simple yet expressive flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
