Lamb Chops and New Potatoes
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 sprig Fresh Mint
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided (2 Tablespoons For The Lamb And 2 Tablespoons For The Potatoes)
- 4 whole Lamb Chops
- 1- 1/2 pound New Potatoes
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1.
- Cut the lemon in half and then squeeze its juice into a bowl.
- Pull the mint leaves off the stalk and add them to the lemon juice with the oil.
- Mix everything together.
- 2.
- Put the lamb chops into the lemon juice mixture and mix to make sure that the meat is well coated in the oil.
- 3.
- Let the lamb marinate for 1 hour.
- This gives the chops time to absorb all those lovely oil and herb flavors.
- You will find that the lamb is really tender and has wonderful flavor when it is cooked.
- 4.
- Once the lamb has been marinating for 45 minutes, turn on the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and put into a roasting pan with the rosemary and garlic.
- Drizzle over the oil and, using oven mitts, put the pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- 5.
- Take the lamb out of the marinade and if your pan is big enough, add the lamb to the potatoes.
- If not, you will need another roasting dish for the lamb.
- Roast the lamb chops for 10 minutes.
- Wearing your oven mitts, take the lamb out of the oven and, using tongs, turn the chops over.
- 6.
- Using oven mitts, put the dish back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
- The potatoes should be golden and tender when you poke them with a skewer or table knife.
- The lamb will be very slightly pink in the middle, which is how it should be.
- Cook for a little bit longer if you prefer.
