  • Butter(60 g)
  • Flat Leaf Parsley(15 g)
  • Garlic(2 cloves)
  • Lemon(1)
  • Olive oil(1 tbsp)
  • Salt(1½ tsp)
  • Black pepper(1 tsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Finely chop {Fresh parsley}, mince {Garlic}, and zest half of {Lemon}. Mix them with softened {Butter}, 1/2 tsp of {Salt}, and 1/4 tsp of {Black pepper} to make a quick herb butter.

    ~6 min

  2. 2

    Pat dry the {Lamb chop} and season all over with the remaining {Salt} and remaining {Black pepper}.

    ~4 min

  3. 3

    Put the {Couscous} in a heatproof bowl with a squeeze of half the {Lemon}. Pour over 240ml boiling water, cover, and let it stand until tender.

    ~5 min

  4. 4

    Heat {Olive oil} in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the {Lamb chop} for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked to your liking.

    ~8 min

  5. 5

    Transfer the lamb to a plate and rest for 3 minutes. Fluff the couscous, then fold in the {Spinach} so it wilts from the heat. Squeeze in the remaining half of the {Lemon}.

    ~3 min

  6. 6

    Serve the couscous on plates, top with the {Lamb chop}, and spoon the {Butter} herb butter over so it melts across the warm meat.
