• Mix the garlic, lemon, chilli and olive oil together, put the lamb cutlets in a dish and pour over the marinade. Cover and leave to marinate for 1 hr in the fridge, if you have time. Tip the broad beans into a food processor with half the olive oil, plenty of salt and pepper, and the lemon juice. Blitz to a chunky purée, then tip into a saucepan but leave off the heat.
• Heat a griddle pan and cook the lamb for 2-3 mins on each side for thinner chops, 3-4 mins on each side for thicker chops. While the chops cook, gently heat the purée. Then stir through the mint and the rest of the olive oil. Check for seasoning. Serve the lamb in a pile with a bowl of the smashed broad beans and plenty of bread to mop up the juices.

CINNAMON LOLLIPOPS

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet upside down on a flat surface and spray the pan with (A lot of) cooking spray. Spray a 2 cup heat proof measuring cup as well. Place everything except cinnamon flavoring, food coloring and lollipop sticks in a large saucepan on medium high heat stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Continue until the mixture begins to boil, occasionally brushing the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water. (That dissolves any sugar on sides of pan.) Stop stirring when it begins to boil.
• Place a candy thermometer onto the pan and do not let it touch the bottom of pan, that will give it a different temperature. Allow syrup to boil for 10 minutes, or until it reaches 300 degrees F. To test hard crack stage, drop a little of it into ice water. It should separate into threads that are brittle and hard. Immediately remove pan from heat and let syrup cool to 275 degrees F. or until it stops bubbling completely. Add cinnamon flavor and color quickly. Pour the syrup into prepared measuring cup and quickly pour into 2 inch rounds on parchment paper. Place a lollipop stick 1/2 of the way into each lollipop and twist until stick sticks. Skewers cute in half also work as lollipop sticks.
• Let each lollipop cool for 15 minutes, or until they are hard. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and seal with tape or a ribbon.

LEMON & HERB LAMB LOLLIPOPS

Steps:

• Slice the lamb cutlets between the bones to give you 16 pieces. Remove any big pieces of fat. Cover the cutlets with cling film and lightly bash the meat with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Put the cutlets in a bowl and sprinkle with flour and some seasoning, tossing to coat.
• Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs, parsley and lemon zest in another. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan /gas 6. Heat enough oil in a large frying pan to come 0.5cm up the side.
• Dip each lamb cutlet into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help crumbs stick. Cook each cutlet in the hot oil for 2 mins each side until golden brown - you will need to do this in batches. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper. When all cutlets have been fried, place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 3 mins more. This will ensure that any parts of the bone that did not touch the pan have been cooked. Leave to cool, then chill if making ahead or pack into containers for your picnic.
