Ingredients

Method

2 cups Woolworths panko breadcrumbs
½ cups Parmesan, finely grated, plus extra for serving
10 g Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
1 t onion flakes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
500 g Woolworths free-range lamb rib chops
4 T olive oil

For serving:

1 kg Woolworths Nicola potatoes
280 g Woolworths extra fine green beans
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
2 T butter
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Method

Ingredients

1. Combine the panko crumbs, Parmesan, herbs, and seasoning in a small bowl. Press the chops into the mixture, making sure they’re evenly coated.

2. Heat half the olive oil in a heavy-based pan and cook the lamb chops (2 at a time) for 5–8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. If you prefer them well done, place the chops into a preheated oven at 180°C for 5–10 minutes. Set aside to rest. Repeat step until all the lamb has been cooked.

3. Make small incisions into the potatoes to create a concertina-like effect. Season well and cook in a preheated oven or air-fryer at 180°C for 20–25 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.

4. Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for 30–45 seconds.

5. Heat the garlic and butter in a pan and toss the beans through the warm butter. Season with lots of black pepper, lemon juice and zest. Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan.
