Why Choose Lamb Chops?
Lamb chops are quick to cook, protein-rich, and incredibly delicious, with a naturally tender texture that absorbs marinades beautifully. Their versatility makes them perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or roasting, offering a gourmet meal with minimal effort. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth of flavour, while the roasted Parmesan veggies provide a crispy, savoury balance. This combination creates a satisfying meal that is both nutritious and indulgent.
Ingredients
For the Lamb Chops:
-
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
1 tbsp honey
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Roasted Vegetables:
-
1 zucchini, sliced
-
1 red capsicum, chopped
-
1 cup cherry tomatoes
-
1 cup baby carrots
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Marinate the Lamb
In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Coat the lamb chops evenly and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavour.
2. Roast the Parmesan Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss the zucchini, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots with olive oil, Parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp.
3. Cook the Lamb Chops
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness.
4. Glaze and Serve
Brush the lamb chops with extra balsamic glaze just before serving for a rich, glossy finish. For a thicker glaze, simmer it longer until it reduces, or adjust the sweetness by adding more honey to taste. Plate with the roasted vegetables and serve immediately.
