How to use up leftover rose harissa
- Lamb cutlets. Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Sear 6 lamb cutlets in a hot ovenproof griddle pan for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer the pan and cutlets to the hot oven and cook for 5-6 minutes for medium-rare. Toss the warm cutlets in a tablespoon of rose harissa paste, lemon juice and plenty of chopped parsley, then serve with salad and bread as a quick meal for two.
