  • 8 lamb loin chops, fat trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved

Method

1

Brush lamb with half the oil and sprinkle with dukkah. Season. Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat and cook chops for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking. Rest on a plate loosely covered in foil for 5 minutes.

Serve lamb chops with salad, potatoes and lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips

  1. Lamb cutlets or leg steaks would also work well in this recipe.
  2. Ensure you rest the lamb to lock in juices and maximise tenderness.
  3. Dukkah is an Egyptian mix of roasted nuts, seeds and spices blended together – available in the herb and spice aisle of the supermarket.
