    We weren't that keen on the pea puree (will serve with something else next time) but the lamb was gorgeous. Will make this again.

    In contrast to the previous comment - my whole family loved this recipe and kids especially enjoyed the pea puree which was a lovely compliment to the lamb. Will make this again.

    Lamb was gorgeous with this marinade. Pea puree was not so good. Used good oil but tasted bitter.

    The lamb was incredibly tender after an hour of marination. A fantastic recipe!

    The flavour of the lamb chops was really good with the marinade. We also really loved the pea puree, different but very nice.

    I made this for a party of 8 hungry adults. I used a mix of chops and boneless gigot chops. After leaving to marinade overnight, I browned them first and then put them into a casserole dish and cooked slowly in the oven for 3 hours. DELICIOUS! It is definitely a new family favourite.

    This was the first time I'd used my balsamic vinegar. I'm a pea aholic, this recipe blew me away the flavour of the pea puree was a delight, minty with an underlying sweetness. Chops where just right nicely browned on the outside, not quite rare in the middle.

    Lovely dish. Used with Lamb Stakes as well as chops. I tend to add the parmesan when reheating the peas (and lots of it too!). I marinate the meat and ingredients in a freezer bag for at least a couple of hours in the fridge for the tastes to work into the meat.

    Wonderful. I left the chops in the marinate for around 6 hours and the meat was incredibly tender. I enjoyed the pea puree and served them both with mixed roast root veg.
