Combine the herbs, onion, pomegranate seeds and lemon zest in a bowl. Season and set aside. Heat a griddle or grill until very hot and cook the lamb chops for 3-4 mins each side, until cooked but still pink and juicy on the inside, then leave to rest for a few mins. Serve the chops with the salad, houmous and pitta, and squeeze over the remaining lemon juice.
