2 small zucchini, peeled into ribbons
120g baby grape tomatoes (yellow or red)
¼ cup marinated feta in oil¼ cup mint leaves

METHOD
Coat lamb with lemon pepper seasoning. Heat a lightly oiled char-grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat. Cook chops for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking. Rest on a plate loosely covered with foil for 5 minutes.

TIPS
Lamb cutlets, loin chops or leg/rump steaks would also work well in this recipe.
For a delicious lunch, cook extra chops, slice meat off the bone and mix through pasta salad to enjoy the next day.
You can also use brown rice, cauliflower rice or quinoa instead of pasta.
