Ingredients

Carrot slaw
Dressing

Method

1.Place the lamb cutlets in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, grind over a few good twists of pepper and mix until well coated. Sprinkle over the celery salt, oregano and dried mint then toss to coat, making sure each cutlet gets some of the spices.
2.Preheat a barbecue or griddle pan to high. Cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes.
3.To make the slaw, place all the dressing ingredients in the bottom of a large bowl, season to taste and mix until well combined. Place the carrot, apple, cabbage and spring onions on top of the dressing and toss until coated fully.
4.Garnish with some coriander for extra bite and serve alongside the lamb.

If you use a box grater for the carrot, make sure you squeeze out as much moisture from it as possible or this will make the slaw very wet and slushy.
