Ingredients
- 300g lean lamb loin chops (2 chops)
- 1 large zucchini (about 300g), cubed
- 200g cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables for 20–25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, pat the lamb chops dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and the chopped rosemary.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chopped mint, and lemon juice to create a simple dressing.
- Serve the rested lamb chops alongside the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the mint-lemon dressing over everything just before eating.
Tips & Substitutions
- Swap the protein: Try this recipe with chicken thighs or pork chops if lamb isn’t available.
- Make it vegetarian: Replace lamb with grilled halloumi or marinated tofu for a plant-based twist.
- Enhance flavor: Add a sprinkle of feta or a handful of olives for a burst of Mediterranean flair.
