Lamb Exotikkah is a flavorful and exotic dish that combines the rich taste of lamb with the unique flavors of dukkah, mirin, and coriander. This recipe is perfect for a dinner party or a night in. The word 'exotikkah' refers to the spice blend of dukkah, which is an Egyptian nut and spice mix that adds a nutty, crunchy texture to the lamb. The mirin, a sweet rice wine commonly used in Japanese cuisine, adds a delicate sweetness to the dish. The fresh coriander and lime juice provide a bright, citrusy finish that balances the richness of the lamb. Serve this dish with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal that's sure to impress.

Instructions

1.	Wash the lamb steaks or cutlets and pat them dry with paper towels.
2.	In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, yoghurt, and 2 teaspoons of the dukkah until well combined.
3.	Rub the lamb with the yoghurt mixture, then let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4.	Preheat your oven to 200C/400F.
5.	In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat and add the lamb. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until browned.
6.	Transfer the lamb to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle the mirin over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining dukkah.
7.	Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your liking.
8.	In a small bowl, mix together the chopped coriander and lime juice. Serve the lamb immediately, garnished with the coriander-lime mixture.
