Instructies
- 1.Prepare the salad base. Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons from the zucchini. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely slice the red onion. Place everything in a large bowl.
- 2.Create the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, the juice of one lemon, and finely minced garlic and fresh mint. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3.Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 4.Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, or longer to your preference.
- 5.While the lamb cooks, pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the zucchini salad and toss gently to combine.
- 6.Remove the lamb from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the zucchini ribbon salad and top with the rested lamb chops.
