Ingredients

  • 8 chops lamb chops
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 pieces flatbread

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the 8 lamb chops with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the lamb rests, make the sauce: heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan over medium. Add 1 minced garlic clove and 1 chopped red bell pepper, cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth if you prefer.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan over high. Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Toss the 4 cups mixed greens with 1 sliced red onion and the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve the lamb chops with the red sauce, flatbread, and salad on the side.

  7. 7

    Rest the lamb for 5 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
