Lamb chops with hummus and roasted tomatoes.
You will need:
olive oil
garlic
cherry tomatoes
pine nuts
black olives
chickpeas
lemon juice
tahini
fresh mint
lamb chops
flatbread.
Preparation:
Mix the oil and garlic together, then rub half of it over the lamb chops. Marinate well, then set aside to marinate. Preheat oven to 220C/200C.
Arrange the tomatoes on a roasting tray, then pour the remaining oil mixture over them and season with the spices.
Roast for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and add the pine nuts for the last 2-3 minutes to toast.
Make the hummus by blending all the ingredients together with 2-3 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and roast the lamb for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your preference. Hold the fatty side of the meat against the pan for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Spread the hummus on a plate or four plates, top with the tomatoes, olive oil, lamb and watercress. Top with olives, cedar nuts, feta and mint and serve with the flatbread.
