Ingredients

4 fresh long red chillies, seeded, chopped finely

3 clove garlic, crushed

2 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoon dried oregano

2 teaspoon ground cumin

2 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 large tomato (220g), chopped finely

1 large red onion (200g), chopped finely

1/2 cup firmly packed fresh flat-leaf parsely leaves, shredded finely

1 cup (250ml) extra virgin olive oil

20 frenched lamb cutlets (1kg)

Method

1.To make chimichurri, place all ingredients except lamb in a large bowl, season; stir to combine.

2.Place half the chimichurri in a large bowl with lamb; toss to coat in marinade. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Cover remaining chimichurri; refrigerate until required.

3.Preheat a grill pan (or barbecue) over high heat. Cook lamb, turning occasionally, for 4 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Cover lamb; rest for 5 minutes.

4.Place lamb cutlets on a large platter; serve with reserved chimichurri. Sprinkle over extra fresh parsley sprigs to serve, if you like.

If you are pressed for time, process all the chimichurri ingredients in a food processor until coarsely chopped. You can substitute chicken wings or drumsticks for the lamb cutlets, if you prefer.
