This is another really quick recipe to make with the end resulting in a lovely tender lamb fillet. I cooked this in a frying pan but this could also be cooked on the BBQ. I do not like my lamb overcooked and like it pink in the centre. I cook mine about 5-8 Min’s a side depending on the thickness. I then cover it and let it stand for a further 5 Min’s, this additional standing time cooks the lamb just the way I like, but cook as you prefer.

Ingredients

4 Lamb fillets (about 200g each)
3/4 Cup sesame seeds
1 Teaspoon dried chili flakes
3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped finely
3 Tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. Combine sesame seeds, chili flakes and parsley in a bowl.

2. Combine lamb fillets in a large bowl with the oil.

3. Place lamb one at a time in sesame seed mixture and coat each fillet all over.

4. Cook either on a lightly oiled grill plate, fry pan, or on the BBQ until browned on both sides and cooked as desired. Cover and stand 5 Min’s then slice thickly.

I served mine over fruity saffron rice, but it also goes well with a crisp green salad topped with tomatoes and bocconcini.
