I love using vegetables instead of the usual carbohydrates like rice, pasta and couscous. Here I’m serving lamb with broccoli rice which is super healthy and tastes amazing too, oh, and by the way it’s so easy to make, so that ticks all the boxes really.
You will need
This recipe is for two people but you can just double things up for more servings. I’m serving two chops per person, they are pretty small so one is definitely not enough.
I also make a herb butter for this recipe, just a simple mix of unsalted butter, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, mint and some salt and pepper. You can make a batch of this and store it wrapped in the freezer to use at any time.
For the broccoli rice
You are going to need a head of broccoli, two cloves of garlic, dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, some parmesan and salt and pepper.
I like to serve my lamb chops with broccoli rice with some carrot battons and mange tout. A nice spring time supper, hearty, filling, healthy and oh so tasty too.
