Lamb Chops With Red Leicester Potato Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the potatoes and onions and place them in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan set over medium heat. Spread half the potatoes and onions across the bottom and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Layer the cheese evenly over the top. Add the rest of the potatoes and onions and press down to form a cake.
• Cook slowly on one side until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. (Lower the heat if it begins to brown too quickly.) Turn and cook on the other side.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or prepare a charcoal grill. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and grill or broil to desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cut the potato cake into four wedges and place them on dinner plates. Lay three chops over each and serve.

Steps:

• Mix the mint and garlic with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning, then rub all over the chops. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and, holding the chops fat-side down, fry until the fat is golden, around 2 mins, then lie flat and fry for 3 mins either side. Cover with foil and set aside.
• Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave on high for 8 mins.
• Put the red onion in the pan you used for the lamb, fry over a medium heat for 3-5 mins, scatter in the paprika, cook for 2 mins, then toss in the sweet potato. Season.
• To make the yogurt, mash the feta with a fork, whisk with the yogurt and lemon juice, season well, then add enough water to make it a drizzling consistency. Serve the chops with the sweet potatoes, drizzle over the yogurt and scatter over the mint leaves.
