- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 4 lamb chops (about 175g each)

- Mix until well coated and roast for 20 minutes.
- Add the garlic and thyme, tossing again to coat and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are both crisp and tender.
- Take the potatoes out and keep warm in a separate dish.
- Meanwhile, heat another roasting tin on the stove.
- Season the lamb and then add the remaining olive oil to the pan.
- When the oil is hot, sear the lamb on each side for a minute or so until it starts to brown.
- Transfer to the oven for 10-12 minutes until just tender but still with a touch of pink in the middle.
- Take out of the oven and leave to rest in a warm place.

- Place the potatoes on warmed plates.
- Spoon over the cooked veggeies.
