Lamb Chops with Red Lentil & Spinach Salad
I made this last night, and it is delicious. Really filling and satisfying. It is originally a weight watchers recipe, but I modified it a little bit from kabobs to chops (didn't have skewers, and i found GREAT chops at the market). It's really easy to make too.
Ingredients
1 c. Red Lentils
1 onion, chopped (I used a red onion)
2-4 cloves of garlic chopped
2 carrots chopped
4 c. water
1 bunch spinach or watercress or arugula (the recipe calls for watercress or arugula, but i used spinach because i had some in the fridge)
Lamb chops trimmed of fat - I used loin chops because they are more meaty and less fatty than shoulder chops. Neck would work too.
2T balsamic vinegar
3T olive oil
1t-1T dijon mustard (depending on your taste in flavor, i used 1T)
salt
1T oregano
Instructions
Bring the lentils, onion, garlic, carrots and water to a boil, bring down to simmer and simmer covered 15 minutes or until the lenitls are tender. Drain, and allow to cool.
Meanwhile in a large bowl mix 2 T vinegar, 2 T olive oil, dijon mustard, toss spinach and lentil mixture to coat.
in another bowl mix salt to 1T olive oil, oregano, and salt to taste. Put lamb chops in an toss. Place in broiler and broil for 4 minutes on each side for rare (my chops were about 1inch thick)
