How to cook it
- Pat the thawed cutlets dry. An hour in olive oil with rosemary, oregano and bay is all the marinade they need.
- Use the hottest heat you have: barbecue embers, a ridged pan or a flat plancha.
- They are thin, so a few minutes a side is enough: browned fat, meat cooked through but still juicy. A thermometer is no use at this size.
- Salt them with coarse salt as they come off the heat and serve at once, bone as handle.
In Spain they arrive as a heap in the middle of the table. For a full barbecue, see our BBQ meat boxes.
Questions about lechal cutlets
Are these the same as British lamb chops?
No. They are much smaller, because lechal is an unweaned animal, and the flavour is milder. Count several per person. How Spanish lamb differs is explained on the lamb page.
How many cutlets are in the pack?
They are sold by weight, not by count: the pack is 1 kg and the number varies.
I would rather cut my own. Is that possible?
Yes. The whole rack of lechal (chuletero), shown below, is the same cut in one piece of 1.35 kg.
Goes well with
The uncut rack, the lechal roasting joints, and a trimmed rack of lamb for the oven.
