Orange Harissa Lamb Chops

You’ve probably cooked orange with chicken, but have you ever tried it with lamb, Chef? Well, today’s the day! A side of oven-roasted baby potatoes are covered in a creamy yoghurt sauce and topped with toasted almonds. This beautifully balances the harissa, lemon & orange marinade that has soaked into the juicy lamb leg chops. Finished with a refreshing cucumber, mint & tomato salsa.

  1. MARINATION

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the harissa paste, the lemon juice, ½ the orange juice, and seasoning. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. Add the lamb to the bowl and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. ROAST

    Spread the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. SALSA & SOME PREP

    In a small bowl, combine the diced cucumber, the diced tomato, ½ the chopped mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, the remaining orange juice, seasoning, and water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. NUTTY MOMENT

    Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. LAMB

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the lamb without the excess marinade (reserving the marinade) until browned but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, add to a roasting tray, and smear with any reserved marinade. Roast until cooked through, 5-8 minutes.

  6. TIME TO EAT

    Plate up the roasted baby potatoes, drizzle over the yoghurt sauce, and sprinkle over the toasted nuts. Side with the tender lamb and the salsa. Garnish with the remaining mint. Well done, Chef.
