    Finely grate the cheese. Puree lamb's lettuce, almonds, parmesan, olive oil and lemon juice in a tall container with a hand blender, season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare quinoa according to the instructions on the packet. Wash the chops, dab dry and cut one pocket in each, season with salt and pepper. Fill each pocket with 1 heaped tablespoon of pesto. Bring milk and butter to the boil.

  4. 4

    Drain the potatoes and celery, mash them with a potato masher and let the milk-butter mixture run in. Season to taste with salt and nutmeg. Keep warm.

  5. 5

    Mix quinoa and breadcrumbs. Whisk the eggs in a deep dish. Turn the cutlet first in flour, then in egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a frying pan. Fry the chops on each side for about 5 minutes at medium heat.

    Fold the rest of the pesto and crème fraîche into the mashed potatoes. Arrange chops and mashed potatoes on plates, garnish with parsley.
