Ingredients

4 tbsp Filippo Berio Classico Olive Oil
4 lamb cutlets, trimmed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 x 400g can Cirio Chopped Tomatoes
100ml white wine
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
100g quick polenta
2 tbsp fresh thyme, roughly chopped
50g black olives, roughly chopped
Filippo Berio Mild Extra Virgin Olive Oil for drizzling

Method

Heat 2 tbsp of Filippo Berio Classico Olive Oil in a large frying pan. When hot, add the lamb cutlets and cook on a high heat for 1 minute each side. Turn down the heat to medium and add the garlic.
Cook for a further minute.
Add the tomatoes, wine, rosemary and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until the lamb is cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the polenta according to the packet instructions. Whisk in the remaining Filippo Berio Classico Olive Oil, thyme and olives. Spoon the polenta onto a plate and top with the tomato sauce and lamb.
As with all meats that are cooked quickly, it's important to use a high temperature and to use the best quality cuts available to ensure the meat is succulent and tender.
