Nothing beats fresh lamb for its sweet flavour and tenderness. It's delicious with this smoky sauce and fresh green beans.

Prep time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 250g green beans, stalks removed and halved
- 100g finely chopped chorizo
- 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 jar slow roasted garlic and chilli sauce
- 150ml dry white wine
- 420g can butter beans drained and rinsed
- 8 spring lamb cutlets, trimmed
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 15g slightly salted butter
- 8tbsp fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1tsp smoked paprika
- Seasoning
- Few sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
Method
- In a small saucepan, boil lightly salted water and cook the green beans for 5-6 mins until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
- Put the chorizo in a saucepan and heat gently, stirring for 2-3 mins until the juices begin to run. Add the onion and cook, stirring for 5 mins until just beginning to soften.
- Stir in the sauce, wine and butter beans. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in the green beans and heat through for a further 2 mins. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, brush a frying pan lightly with some of the oil and heat until hot. Add the lamb cutlets and cook for 4-5 mins on each side until slightly pink in the centre. Drain, reserving the pan juices and keep warm.
- Add the butter and remaining oil to the pan juices and heat until bubbling and hot. Stir fry the breadcrumbs with the paprika for 1-2 mins until crisp and richly coloured. Drain the pan contents on kitchen paper, then return to the pan and stir in the parsley.
- To serve, divide the bean mixture between 4 warm serving plates. Top each with 2 cutlets and sprinkle over the breadcrumb mixture. Serve immediately.
