Method

  1. Mix the breadcrumbs, most of the pecorino and the black pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and egg in separate bowls. Season the lamb, then dip in the flour to coat, followed by the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat; fry the lamb for 3 mins on each side for medium-rare (or 4 mins per side for well done). Set aside to rest.
  3. Mix the beans, basil, tomatoes, onion, the remaining oil and the vinegar in a bowl, season and mix well. Serve the lamb sprinkled with the remaining pecorino, alongside the bean and tomato salad.
