1
Place the pieces of lamb between 2 sheets of baking paper and hit with a meat mallet to flatten them a little more if necessary.
2
Remove the paper.
3
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on 1 side of each piece of lamb and push down lightly to join together (or you could use a little bit of egg wash to stick).
4
Place the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls.
5
Coat a piece of lamb in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg and finally coat in the breadcrumbs.
6
Place on a baking tray and repeat with remaining pieces of lamb.
7
Cover and place in the fridge while you prepare the zucchini.
8
After finishing the rest of the method steps for the zucchini, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the base. Once the oil is hot, add the lamb, cheese-side-up and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once. If necessary cook in two batches.
9
Drain on crumpled kitchen paper and season.
