Grilled Lamb Chops with Herbs and Potato Salad
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients for 4 servings:
– 12 lamb chops
– 1 kg potato salad
– 5 tbsp white wine vinegar
– Salt and pepper
– 1 garlic clove
– 2 teaspoons mustard
– 100 ml rapeseed oil or light olive oil
– 2 tbsp freshly chopped tarragon
– 2 tbsp freshly chopped chervil
– 2 tbsp freshly chopped mint
Preparation
Start by boiling the potatoes in a large saucepan for 15-20 minutes until tender but firm. While they cook, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, minced garlic, mustard, oil, and fresh herbs in a bowl to create a vibrant vinaigrette.
Reserve one-third of the vinaigrette to marinate the lamb chops. Coat them thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate to infuse those incredible flavors.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes, let them cool slightly, then slice evenly into a large bowl. Pour the remaining vinaigrette over them and let it absorb for five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Heat your grill or a hot pan to high. Remove excess marinade from the chops and sear for 6-8 minutes per side until perfectly grilled.
Gently mix the potato salad and serve immediately alongside the warm lamb chops for the best taste.
Pro Tip: Sprinkle finely chopped spring onions over the potato salad for an extra burst of freshness.
