Sesame Chili and Parsley Crusted Lamb Fillets

This is another really quick recipe to make with the end resulting in a lovely tender lamb fillet. I cooked this in a frying pan but this could also be cooked on the BBQ. I do not like my lamb overcooked and like it pink in the centre. I cook mine about 5-8 Min's a side depending on the thickness. I then cover it and let it stand for a further 5 Min's, this additional standing time cooks the lamb just the way I like, but cook as you prefer. I served mine with French Tart's Saffron Scented Fruity Yellow Rice - Rice Cooker which went really well with this.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  lamb fillets (about 200g each)
• 3⁄4 cup sesame seeds
• 1  teaspoon  dried chili pepper flakes
• 3  tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped finely
• 3  tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Combine sesame seeds, chili flakes and parsley in a bowl.
2. Combine lamb fillets in a large bowl with the oil.
3. Place lamb one at a time in sesame seed mixture and coat each fillet all over.
4. Cook either on a lightly oiled grill plate, fry pan, or on the BBQ until browned on both sides and cooked as desired. Cover and stand 5 Min's then slice thickly.
5. I served mine over fruity saffron rice, but it also goes well with a crisp green salad topped with tomatoes and bocconcini.
