Lamb Schnitzelwith Caper and Mint Butter, Pickled Onions and Pickled Cucumbers

Pat the lamb cutlets dry, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, the toasted cumin seeds, and toasted coriander seeds.

Place the flour, beaten egg, and plain bread crumbs in three shallow dishes, seasoning the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Dredge each cutlet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally press into the bread crumbs to coat evenly; set the coated cutlets on a plate.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat until it shimmers (about 2 minutes).

Add the schnitzels to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd; fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the coating is deep golden and the meat is cooked through (internal temperature 145°F/145°F).

While the schnitzels are frying, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the chopped mint and drained capers; keep warm.

Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain briefly, then arrange on a serving platter.

Spoon a generous dollop of the warm mint‑caper butter over each schnitzel, allowing it to melt into the crust.

Scatter the sliced pickled onions and pickled cucumbers around the platter for a bright, acidic contrast.

Serve immediately while hot, with optional lemon wedges or a simple green salad.
