Preparation Method :
- Remove all the gristle, sinews and
fat from the lamb. Cut the meat into equal pieces weighing roughly 100g
(3½oz) each. Place a piece at a time inside a strong plastic bag or
between 2 sheets of clingfilm and flatten it with a meat mallet or
heavy-based saucepan, turning it after every hit to make it as round as
possible.
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the paste over all the escalopes in a dish, then cover and refrigerate for 3–4 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Heat the oil in saucepan or flameproof casserole dish. When hot, add the cinnamon stick and sauté for a few seconds, before adding the dried red chillies. As soon as the chillies darken, add the fresh green chillies and onions. Sauté until the onions are soft.
- Add the vinegar and sugar and simmer for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes. Cook gently until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Scrape the excess marinade off the escalopes, reserving it for later. Tightly roll up each piece of meat and fasten with a wooden cocktail stick.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan. When hot, brown the escalopes on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Pour a little water into the pan and scrape up the tasty bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in the reserved marinade, then add the butter and heat for just a few minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the browned escalopes and cook for 3–4 minutes. They should be well cooked by now, but do check by tasting a bit.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a sprinkling of chopped coriander if you wish.
