Herbed Lamb Chops with Greek Couscous Salad Recipe

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 pounds lamb loin chops, trimmed of fat
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  1. Put water on to boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Combine garlic, parsley and salt in a small bowl. Press the garlic mixture into both sides of lamb chops. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and cook to desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, stir couscous into the boiling water. Return to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add tomatoes, cucumber, feta, lemon juice and dill. Stir to combine. Serve the couscous with the lamb chops.
