Instructies
- 1.In a saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- 2.While the lentils are cooking, heat 15ml of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 3.Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 4.Combine the cooked lentils with the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Stir in the chopped rosemary, fresh mint, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm over low heat.
- 5.Pat the lamb chops dry and season them generously with salt, pepper, and a little more rosemary. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat.
- 6.Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust the time to your desired doneness. Let the chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- 7.To serve, spoon the warm lentil salad onto two plates and place a rested lamb chop on top.
