Ingredients

Ratatouille Ingredients

1 large eggplant cubed
2 medium zucchini sliced
1 large red bell pepper chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper chopped
2 medium tomatoes chopped
1 medium onion sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
to taste salt and black pepper

Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops Ingredients

8 pieces lamb chops trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2 In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.
3 Add the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are slightly tender.
4 Stir in the tomatoes and Herbes de Provence. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let simmer on low heat for another 15 minutes.
5 While the ratatouille simmers, prepare the lamb chops. In a small bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
6 Rub the lamb chops with olive oil and coat them with the herb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
7 In a separate oven-safe skillet, sear the lamb chops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
8 Transfer the skillet with lamb chops to the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
9 Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
10 Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops alongside the warm ratatouille. Enjoy!
