Lamb Cutlets with Orange & Lemon
I am so excited to share my family’s favourite lamb cutlets recipe. It’s easy and simple, and the whole family can enjoy them. The citrus blend gives the lamb cutlets a tangy and delicious flavour. Offer them mashed potato or potato wedges and little tummies; they will feel full and satisfied. This recipe is also perfect for babies, but leave out the salt and pepper. Enjoy!
