Istruzioni
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the sweet potato, carrots, and red onion into 2-3 cm chunks. On a baking tray, toss the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the lamb. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon. Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 3.Make the gremolata. Finely chop the fresh mint, parsley, and garlic. Combine them in a bowl with the zest of one lemon and a squeeze of its juice. Set aside.
- 4.Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the lamb chops in the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust the time for your desired doneness.
- 5.Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate the roasted root vegetables, top with the lamb chops, and spoon the fresh mint-parsley gremolata over the top.
