Serving: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 lamb rib chops
• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tbsp, for frying
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled & sliced
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 small lemon, zest & juice

Instructions:

1. Place the chops in a large dish so that they all fit in a single layer.
2. Pour over the two tablespoons of oil & add the garlic, chilli, oregano, lemon zest and juice. Sprinkle the salt over & add the olives. Leave for 5 mins & turn to ensure both sides are marinated leave for 15 mins.
3. Heat a large frying pan add two tablespoons of oil, remove marinate bits (save the marinade) & put the lamb cutlets in the pan. Fry for a couple of minutes a side on quite a high heat so that they have some colour.
4. Turn the heat down to medium & pour the marinade into the pan over the colored chops. Add two tablespoons or so of water so that they cook in a little liquid.
