Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture generously over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cover and let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Slice the zucchinis and eggplant into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Lightly coat the vegetable slices with the cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the zucchini and eggplant slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until tender and charred marks appear. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard until well combined.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, chopped spearmint, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Add the grilled zucchini and eggplant slices.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Cook the marinated lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer if desired. Let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking.
- Arrange the chargrilled vegetable salad on plates.
- Place the cooked lamb chops on the side.
- Garnish with additional spearmint leaves or a wedge of lemon if desired.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, marinate the lamb with rosemary and garlic for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Ensure your grill is hot before adding the vegetables to achieve the perfect char without overcooking them.
- If you don't have fresh spearmint, you can substitute with fresh basil or parsley.
- Use a meat thermometer to cook the lamb to your desired level of doneness, medium-rare is usually around 145°F.
- Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes after cooking to retain its juices and flavor.
Serving this Rosemary and Garlic Lamb with Chargrilled Vegetable Salad will undoubtedly impress your guests with its vibrant colors and mouth-watering aroma.
