Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Rub the aubergines with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a large roasting tray and roast for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes cooking time add the lamb cutlets to the tray, then roast for 15 minutes more for medium-rare (or 5-10 minutes longer if you prefer your lamb medium to well-done).
- Meanwhile, put the pearl barley in a large frying pan and set over a medium heat. Toast for around 5-10 minutes, tilting and shaking the pan often to stop it from burning. Cool, then mix with the peanuts, raisins, cucumber and mint.
- If you’re planning to make the frittata recipe another day, set aside a third of the aubergines (cover and chill until for up to 3 days). Arrange the lamb and remaining aubergines on a platter with the barley salad, then drizzle with any cooking juices and serve with lime wedges.
