by Chef Ana Pozo · Inspired With A Twist

Ingredients

  • lamb loin chops
  • Roasted Russet Potatoes wedges
  • Ripe Apricots halved + pitted
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • fresh oregano, chopped
  • fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Olive Oil
  • S&P
  • Honey
  • Pita bread or Naan-quartered
  • feta cheese
  • butter- about a 3 tbsp

Instructions

  1. avocado
  2. plain greek yogurt
  3. fresh dill
  4. Garlic-chopped finely or grated
  5. Shredded cucumber- seeds removed
  6. lemon juice
  7. S&P
  8. mixed herbs-chopped (I used parsley, mint, oregano, thyme and rosemary)
  9. pine nuts
  10. olive oil
  11. Add the Avocado to a food processor and blend until smooth. In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, shredded cucumber, garlic, olive oil, avocado and S&P.
  12. Meanwhile, add the pine nuts and the fresh chopped herbs to a skillet. Cook until toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Set aside.
  13. Remove the lamb from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Season with salt and pepper
  14. In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil on high until hot. Place the loin chops in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. It’s important not to touch or adjust the lamb so the sides can sear up in the skillet. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. You can also grill the lamb for about 3-4 min on each side just follow the same directions.
  15. Add the butter, garlic, and fresh herbs to the skillet and stir until fully melted. Cook for an additional minute.
  16. In a bowl, toss together the apricots. Honey and olive oil. Grill the apricots on both sides until they begin to caramelize. Once grill marks begin to appear, you will know they are ready.
  17. To serve, add the bread, lamb, potatoes, grilled apricots and lemon wedges to a plate. Sprinkle some feta cheese over the plate. For the Tzatziki sauce, drizzle olive oil and add the pine nut mixture to the top. ENJOY!
