Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus marinating time

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
2 T chopped rosemary
4 large lamb chops

For the Greek salad

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 cucumber cut into thin rounds
1 green pepper, seeds removed and thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 x 200 g tub Greek feta
1 x 120 g packet black kalamata olives
3 T red-wine vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and rosemary. Marinate the lamb chops in the mixture for 2 to 3 hours.

Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and fry the chops for 3 minutes a side (for medium rare). Remove from the pan and allow to rest.

To make the Greek salad: Combine the tomato, cucumber, green pepper and red onion. Crumble over the feta and dot with olives. Drizzle over the vinegar and season to taste.

Cook’s note: For added flavour, sear the chops over open coals.
