Lamb Chops in herbed olive oil with Simple salad and smashed tiny potatoes (Easter Meal)
Lamb Chops:
- 2 packages of Lamb Chops, cut individually
- 1 bunch Italian Parsley
- 1 Tbs Lemon Zest
- Juice of ½ of a lemon
- 1 Tbs dried Oregano
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Potatoes:
- 1 bag of tiny mixed potatoes, could use any combination or kind
- 1 stick Kerrygold Garlic and Herb butter
Salad:
- 1 bunch or bag of baby spinach
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp Cavender’s Greek Seasoning
Lamb:
Slice your knife inbetween each rib, slicing all of the way through separating into “lollipops” and place them on a foil lined cookie sheet.
In a small food processor or a regular one, put in the parsley leaves, lemon zest, dried oregano, ½ of lemon juice and garlic. Add Salt and Pepper and pulse until all is chopped up. Add the olive oil, and pulse until there is a coarse paste. Brush or spoon this paste onto each lamb lollipop.
Cook the lollipops on the grill on medium high heat. Grill 2-3 minutes per side.
Potatoes:
Boil some water and add the potatoes. Cook them until fork tender. Drain the potatoes. In a large skillet, add the Kerrygold Garlic and Herb butter and melt over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes into the pan. Smash each one with the bottom of a glass or a spatula. Cook and flip so both sides get brown and crispy. Add salt and pepper and shake the pan. Keep warm in the skillet.
Salad:
Mix together the spinach, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the greek seasoning and toss until everything is coated with the light dressing.
To plate: put 2-3 lollipops on the plate, add the salad and some potatoes.
Yum!
