Mediterranean Lamb Chops : Low In Carbs

Many thanks for your comments and good wishes on my previous post. I do hope that all those readers who celebrated Easter had a happy one and also enjoyed the extended weekend break. I had a very good Easter-time celebrating together with family and having a very tasty Roast Lamb dinner on Easter Sunday.

In fact in todays' post I am keeping the flavour of lamb going and also bringing the flavours of the Mediterranean to your plate with this mouth-watering meal of lamb chops, fresh herbs, roasted veg and crumbly feta.



Ingredients
Serves Two
4 lean lamb chops or cutlets
1 tbsp, fresh mint
1 tbsp, fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small aubergine/eggplant, sliced
1 courgette/zucchini, sliced
1 red or yellow pepper, cut in large chunks
50g/2oz feta cheese, crumbled
250g/9oz cherry tomatoes

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 5.
2. Using a pestle and mortar or wooden spoon and bowl, pound together the fresh mint, fresh rosemary and the garlic, then mix with 1 tbsp olive oil. Smear over four lean lamb chops or cutlets.
3. Place the aubergine, courgette and red or yellow pepper on to a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and place the lamb chops on top. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
4. Top the chops with feta cheese and add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for a further 10 minutes until the cheese just starts to brown.
5. Serve the chops with the roasted vegetables, and mixed leaf salad.

Optional Serving suggestion
Some readers may like some toasted ciabatta bread to enjoy alongside this dish, but it will increase your carbohydrate intake and may not be suitable for all.

That looks delicious. Lamb is a meat we rarely have, in fact, I sometimes have lamb chops myself while Mick has something different because none of our family, apart from me, really enjoy it.

Hello and many thanks for your comment/question.

Mint jelly (or mint sauce) is served with lamb, especially roast lamb, to balance the richness and flavour of the meat. The combination of fresh mint, vinegar, and sugar creates a tangy and refreshing flavour that cuts through the lamb's fattiness, creating a complementary taste experience.

For readers who may prefer a sugar free mint sauce have a look here:-

I can imagine that the feta makes a lovely, sharp contrast to the lamb.

We like lamb, but the price here in the U.S. is quite expensive so we rarely have it.
