Ingredients: 4 lamb chops, 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 medium onion, 1 tsp. chopped garlic, 1 diced carrot, 1 sweet potato sliced to 1/2 inch rings, 1 red bell pepper, 1 handful of broccoli, 1/4 cup red wine, sea salt to taste, fresh parsley for garnish. The ingredients are for 2 servings of baked lamb chops.
Recipe: Heat the olive oil in a large pan and saute the diced onion and chopped garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables and saute for 5 more minutes. Add the lamb chops to the pan and sear them on both sides as on the picture to the right above. After 2-3 minutes more deglaze with the red wine and season to taste with sea salt. Transfer the food from the pan to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 450 F for about 20 minutes or until the lamb chops are the color from the left picture above. Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes after cooking and serve the baked lamb chops with some freshly chopped parsley on top. As you see, I didn't use any spices for this recipe. I find the lamb chops and vegetables have a lot of taste in them so I didn't want to spoil their natural beauty with spices.
Tip: For some extra sauce you can deglaze the baking dish with some more wine, reduce it for a little bit on the stove and drizzle it on top of the served lamb chops. I am often divided between what oil to use for cooking, coconut or olive oil. They are both great and very healthy, so I just use them both together. This recipe will work perfectly well with coconut oil as well.
