Lamb Chops And Vegetables In Foil Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the fennel and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, with the tomatoes cut-side up. Roast until the tomatoes are soft and the fennel is golden, about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Meanwhile, cook the garlic in the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and 2 1/2 cups water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in the oregano and parmesan, if desired.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and grill until marked on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until just firm to the touch, 4 to 5 more minutes for medium-rare. Divide the beans among plates and top with the lamb and roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7/425°F/220°C.
• Pat dry the lamb chops and place them onto an oiled tray.
• Season the lamb with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle half of the chopped herbs and give it all a good toss.
• Pop the tray on the middle shelf of the oven for about 10-15 minutes, till you prepare the vegetables.
• To prepare the vegetables - peel and chop the carrots and parsnips in half lengthways.
• Peel and chop the potatoes in half lengthways and then cut each half into 4 wedges.
• With the onions, peel the skin off but do not slice them. Make cuts not all the way down to the roots but about 3/4 way - make cuts into eighths so what you have are onions slightly opened up like water lilies.
• Leave the garlic cloves whole with their skin on.
• Put all the chopped vegetables, onions and garlic cloves in a bowl.
• Add in the rest of the chopped herbs, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle in the oil and toss them well.
• Remove the chops from the oven, arrange the vegetables all around the meat and return the tray to high shelf of the oven and cook for a further 35 minutes or until both the meat and vegetables are tender.
• Remove them from the oven and cover the tray with foil to allow the meat to rest for about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the chops and vegetables onto a serving plate.
• Scrape and pour the remaining juices from the tray into a saucepan.
• Pour in the stock and let it simmer and bubble over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into a jug and serve along with the lamb chops and vegetables.

Steps:

• Combine herbs and salt; rub over lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with mint jelly if desired.
