12 lean lamb cutlets, about 40 g (1½ oz) each

2 tablespoons pesto

3 tablespoons granary breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, toasted

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

Heat a nonstick frying pan or griddle until hot, add the cutlets and cook for 1 minute on each side, then transfer to a baking sheet.
