Introduce a little sunshine to your day, whatever the weather, with Mediterranean-style lamb chops served on a bed of hummus, roasted tomatoes, olives and feta. A lovely light meal that is a bit of a mid-week treat or perfect weekend entertaining dish when the sun shines.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Mix the oil with most of the grated garlic (save a little for the houmous), then rub half over the lamb chops. Season well, then set aside to marinate. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.

Step 2

Put the tomatoes on a baking tray, then drizzle over the remaining oil mixture and season. Cook for 8-10 mins until soft, adding the pine nuts for the final 2-3 mins to toast.

Step 3

Make the hummus by blitzing the chickpeas with a little of their liquid, along with the tahini, grated garlic (about a clove to serve 4), lemon juice, and a splash of olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding more chickpea liquid as needed. Season with salt.

Step 4

Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and cook the lamb for 4-5 mins on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Hold the fatty side of the meat against the pan for 2-3 mins until crisp. Cover and set aside to rest for 5 mins.

Step 5

Spread the hummus over a platter or four plates and top with the tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, the lamb and rocket. Scatter over the olives, pine nuts, feta and mint, and serve with the flatbreads.
