Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lamb loin chops
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 medium-sized Kumera (sweet potatoes)
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 piece Lemon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the spice rub by mixing ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Pat the lamb loin chops dry with a paper towel, then rub the spice mix evenly onto both sides of each chop.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest, covered with foil.
Peel the kumera and chop them into large chunks. Place the kumera in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the kumera and return it to the pot. Add butter, milk, and crumbled feta cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt to taste if necessary.
Plate the kumera mash on each serving plate, then top with the rested spice-rubbed lamb chops.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
