Herby Lamb chops with Brussels Sprouts

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 450g lamb chops
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, stems removed, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, stems removed, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, stems removed, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups Brussel sprouts, halved
  • 2 sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes

 Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this herb mixture all over the lamb chops and season well.
  2. Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for a stronger flavor.
  3. Preheat oven to 200C and toss the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until sprouts are crispy and golden. Sprinkle with chili flakes in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  5. Heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is usually around 145°F or 63°C internal temperature).
  7. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes. Throw baby spinach in the same pan and let it wilt.
  8. Serve the lamb chops on a bed of baby spinach alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and potato.
