Ingredients

50g Cracker Barrel Vintage Cheddar Cheese, chopped
1/2 cup (100g) salted roasted cashew nuts
1 spring onion, roughly chopped
12 lamb cutlets
olive oil, for pan frying
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
sweet potato mash or salad, for serving

Method

Blend cashew nuts and spring onion in a food processor until coarsely chopped, add cheese and blend until well combined. Firmly press spoonfuls of the cheddar crumbing onto each side of the cutlets and season with pepper. Heat a lightly oiled large non-stick frypan and pan fry cutlets for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until a golden crust forms. Carefully turn over and cook on second side a further 2 minutes or until golden. The crust is very delicate so take care handling the cutlets. Serve with sweet potato mash or salad.

Tips

Sprinkle a little extra shaved or grated Cracker Barrel Vintage Cheddar into mash or over salad before serving.
