Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Dice the bell peppers and zucchini. On a baking tray, toss the vegetables with 15ml of olive oil, one minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables are roasting, rinse the lentils. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the lentils, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 20-25 minutes until tender but still holding their shape. Drain any excess liquid.
- 3.Finely chop the remaining two garlic cloves and the rosemary leaves. Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and rub them all over with the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- 4.Heat the remaining 30ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the lamb chops in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust the time for your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes.
- 5.In a large bowl, combine the warm cooked lentils and the roasted vegetables. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salad and gently toss to combine. Season with a little more salt and pepper if needed.
- 6.To serve, divide the warm lentil and vegetable salad between two plates. Top each with a rested lamb chop and drizzle with any juices from the resting plate.
