Ingredients
For the Lamb Chops with Fresh Thyme Marinade
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup fresh thyme finely chopped
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
For the Peas
- 2 cups frozen peas no need to thaw
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a ziploc bag add olive oil, fresh thyme, parsley, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Add lamb chops, seal the bag and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, overnight is best.
- When you're ready to cook the lamb chops, start with the peas. In a large skillet add olive oil, peas, salt and black pepper and stir to combine. Cook for 7-10 minutes until slightly golden-brown. Add sugar and lemon juice, taste for seasoning and cook for another 2-3 minutes until caramelised.
- While the peas are cooking, heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub off the excess marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. If you prefer them well-done, cook them 1 minute more on each side.
