Ingredients

Ingredients for 4 servings

- 8 Lamb chops

- 4 potatoes

- 2 small eggplants

- Salt and pepper

- 200 g (7 oz.) green beans

- 1 carrot

- 5 tomatoes

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 sprig of oregano

- A few sprigs of thyme, chopped

- 8 tbsp. olive oil

- Paprika

- 2 tsp. rosemary

Method

Cook the potatoes in their skins. Peel and slice into rounds. Set aside.
Wash the eggplant; cut into rounds, sprinkle with salt and leave to exude its juice for 15-20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Wash the beans and cook in boiling salted water.
Peel the carrot and cut into sticks.
Blanch the tomatoes for a few seconds in boiling water; peel, seed and chop them coarsely.
In a skillet in 6 tbsp. oil, sauté the garlic and eggplant until lightly colored; drain on paper towel.
In the same skillet, sauté the beans, carrot and tomato; add the potatoes with 2 tbsp. olive oil, the eggplant, oregano and thyme. Sprinkle with paprika.
Transfer everything to a gratin dish and keep hot in a 150° C (300° F) oven.
Season the lamb chops with pepper and rosemary. Grill on both sides in a non-stick pan. Cook until medium-rare; the time will depend on the thickness.
Remove the vegetables from the oven; place the lamb chops on top; season with salt and serve immediately.
