Method

1.

Place bread in a food processor and whiz to fine crumbs. Add oregano, haloumi and 1/4 cup parsley leaves, then whiz until combined. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
2.

Place flour and egg in separate bowls. Coat the lamb cutlets first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally coat in breadcrumb mixture.
3.

Heat 2cm oil in a frypan and fry the cutlets, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes each side until golden.
4.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, garlic and vinegar together. Season. Place beans, tomatoes, onion, olives and remaining 2 cups parsley in a bowl and toss gently with the dressing to combine. Serve with lamb and lemon wedges.
