• Servings: 6
• 2 lbs boneless lamb chops or 2 lbs sliced boneless lamb loin, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
• 1 1/2 cups wine
• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients except lamb and cooking oil and pour over lamb in a non-reactive container. let marinate for between 6 and 48 hours (refrigerate for longer than 6 hours).
• 2 heat frying pan over medium heat and add just enough oil to cover the bottom. cook lamb cutlets two or three at a time until done. keep finished cutlets warm in a low oven while cooking the others.
• 3 when all the meat is cooked, drain off excess oil and pour the excess marinade into the pan. cook over medium high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce is thick like gravy.
