Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
Instructions
Begin by marinating the lamb chops. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the lamb chops and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the lamb marinates, prepare the ricotta skordalia. Scrub and peel 3 medium potatoes, then chop them into 1-inch cubes. Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth, then fold in 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.
Next, make the tomato-onion-olive relish. Dice 2 medium tomatoes, finely chop 1 medium red onion, and halve 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, olives, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. Stir well and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for about 3 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare). Let the chops rest for 5 minutes.
To plate, spoon a generous dollop of ricotta skordalia onto each plate. Place 2 lamb chops on top, then spoon the tomato-onion-olive relish over the lamb. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lamb with Ricotta Skordalia and Tomato Onion Olive Relish!
