Lovely Lamb Chops & Salad Makes 2-4 serves
Ingredients • ¼ cup olive oil • Juice of 1 lemon (about ¼ cup lemon juice) Salad: • 2 teaspoons dried oregano, • ½ lettuce or ½ cup chopped fresh • 2 tomatoes • 4 cloves garlic • 1 red onion • light pinch of salt (optional) • ½ cucumber • ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper • 4 sprigs of parsley • 8 lamb chops • 1 avocado (optional) • 1 tablespoon of olive oil for cooking
Method Using paper towels, pat chops dry and discard any shards or bone fragments. Squeeze the lemon. Finely chop or mince the garlic. Mix the ¼ cup of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic and pepper in bowl. Arrange lamb chops in the bowl with the mixture, making sure the mixture covers all of the lamb, rubbing it into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 30 minutes, or for a deeper flavour, marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning the chops from time to time (Chops will be even better if they are left to marinate in the mixture overnight before cooking). Before cooking, let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes).
“I would recommend this because anyone can do it and because there are veggies, it’s healthy. Easy to follow and understand, and you can alternate with chicken.” —Nic
