directions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Place the new potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper before placing in the oven to roast for 25 minutes. Whilst the potatoes are roasting season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and add the chops to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, then remove from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Put the cherry tomatoes in a large bowl and squeeze over the lime and lemon juice. Drizzle over a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper before finally stirring in the parsley, mint and olives. Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve alongside the lamb chops and tangy tomato salad.
