Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 cups Yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cumin, turmeric, curry powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the spiced cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the lamb chops to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done.
Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops alongside the roasted curried cauliflower. If desired, garnish with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Add a lemon wedge to each plate for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy!
