Luiz Hara says… “This spicy green miso is zingy, fresh and a fantastic accompaniment to lamb, fatty mackerel or chicken thighs. It is a doddle to make but packs a real punch of umami flavour and chilli heat. If you are not a huge fan of coriander, you can use other green herbs such as basil or tarragon."

Method
-
step 1
Put all the ingredients for the miso marinade into a food processor and blend to a smooth green paste. Rub the lamb cutlets generously with 2/3 of the miso mixture and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
-
step 2
Add 4 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil to the remaining 1/3 of marinade and mix well – this will be used for basting the lamb during grilling as well as a sauce for the barbecued cutlets. Put the mixture in an airtight container and chill until needed.
-
step 3
Remove the lamb cutlets from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
-
step 4
Heat the grill to high and put the cutlets over a wire rack within a roasting tin and grill them for 4 minutes on each side, basting each cutlet with some of the green miso sauce after flipping them over. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the lamb should be 60C for rare, 63C for medium-rare, 71C for medium and 77C for well done. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can check doneness by cutting a small piece from one of the cutlets. Rest the cutlets in a warm place for a couple of minutes, then serve with the remaining green miso sauce, a scattering of sesame seeds and micro herbs and edible flowers, if using.
