Ingredients

  • 4 - 6 lamb chops
  • Handful of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
  • 1 tsp toasted cumin seeds, to serve
Vegetables for the tray bake
  • 4 potatoes, cut into large wedges, par-boiled
  • 2 onions, cut into large wedges
  • ½ fennel bulb, thickly sliced
  • 2 red capsicums, roughly chopped
  • ½ eggplant, roughly chopped
  • 2 parsnips, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (125 ml) olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary (optional)
For the yoghurt dressing 
  • 1 cup Greek yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
Resting time: 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C (fan-forced). Line two baking trays with baking paper. In a large bowl, combine the vegetables for the tray bake with the oil, a generous pinch of salt and pepper and the rosemary (if using). Toss well to combine, then spread out on the two trays and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender.
  2. After 30 minutes, top the vegetables with the lamb chops and bake for a further 20 minutes, turning once, until the lamb is cooked to your liking.
  3. While the lamb is baking, in a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the yoghurt dressing and mix well to combine.
  4. Remove the Middle Eastern lamb tray bake from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Divide the roasted vegetables and lamb between plates. Sprinkle with the parsley and toasted cumin seeds and serve the yoghurt dressing on the side.
Note
  • Feel free to try substituting seasonable vegetables in this tray bake.
