Ingredients
- ½ small pack mint, chopped (reserve a few leaves to serve)
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
For the lemon yogurt
- 35g feta
- 75ml natural yogurt
- ½ lemon, juiced
Method
- STEP 1
Mix the mint and garlic with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning, then rub all over the chops. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and, holding the chops fat-side down, fry until the fat is golden, around 2 mins, then lie flat and fry for 3 mins either side. Cover with foil and set aside.
- STEP 2
Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave on high for 8 mins.
- STEP 3
Put the red onion in the pan you used for the lamb, fry over a medium heat for 3-5 mins, scatter in the paprika, cook for 2 mins, then toss in the sweet potato. Season.
- STEP 4
To make the yogurt, mash the feta with a fork, whisk with the yogurt and lemon juice, season well, then add enough water to make it a drizzling consistency. Serve the chops with the sweet potatoes, drizzle over the yogurt and scatter over the mint leaves.
