To Make Dish
1
Put the rice in a bowl and cover with water. Set aside.
2
Heat one tablespoon oil in a heavy-based saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes until softened.
3
Drain the rice, add to the pan along with the lemon zest and rosemary and stir together well.
4
Pour in the stock, bring to a very gentle simmer, cover and cook on the lowest heat for 10-12 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
5
Turn the heat off and leave covered, while you cook the lamb.
6
Season the cutlets well with salt and pepper and grill for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking.
7
Cover with foil and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes.
8
Meanwhile, blitz all the salsa ingredients in a food processor, or chop the ingredients into small dice and use a pestle and mortar to grind together.
9
Taste and add a touch more lemon juice if desired. Season and set aside.
10
Season the rice, separate the grains with a fork and serve with the chops.
11
Spoon over the salsa and enjoy with a salad.
