One Pot Lamb Cutlets + Potatoes + Pesto
Lamb cutlets are pretty much a favourite in most Aussie households with kids. I reckon it is one of the first meats introduced to little ones as they can easily hold the small bone and suck the meat off, it was in our house anyway! Both my kids get super excited when lamb cutlets are on the menu.
I used my recipe for Hemp Seed Pesto with this dish and it was perfect! You can find the recipe here:

Pre steaming the potatoes not only makes for super crispy edges, as they come out of the steamer drier than if you were to boil them. It also provides resistant starch, which can help feed the good bacteria in your gut. You can read a bit more about resistant starch in this post by Sarah Wilson who was using it as a test to treat constipation. Basically it involves cooking your carbs as you normally would, allowing them to cool down and then either eating cold or reheating out of the fridge. It also saves cooking time for this dish!

WHERE TO BUY QUALITY LAMB?
Arkady Lamb is a unique South West product from a single farm, comprising of a single flock and is renowned its for consistent high quality meat. A superb eating flavour and texture is achieved from slow maturing pasture raised lambs, and their exposure to rich grazing country. The Lambs are weaned onto pasture and in summer their range is green grassy creek-lines and legume pastures.
You can buy direct from the farm half a lamb cut into either slow cook pieces or smaller cuts for grilling or the BBQ.
