lamb loin chops with cucumber mint salad and sweet and smoky tahini

Ingredients

  • 2 racks American Lamb chops
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons Za’atar spice, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pack Ancient Grain Flatout Foldits
  • 1/4 cup Italian seasoning

Directions

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons Za’atar, pepper and salt; mix and set aside. 

Cut the Flatout Foldits in the middle, then cut each side into quarters. Place on a baking tray; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 1 tablespoon Za’atar. Bake at 400°F for about 5 to 7 minutes. 

Rub lamb with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then coat with Italian seasoning. 

Heat a large pan big enough to hold at least one rack of lamb; warm on high heat. Place each rack into the pan; sear on each side for a few minutes until brown. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Transfer lamb to a baking tray; roast for about 18 to 20 minutes for medium-rare, or 25 to 30 minutes for medium.

Once the lamb has cooked, let it rest covered with foil before slicing into chops. Serve with the Flatout Foldit chips and Za'atar and Olive Oil Dip.
