Lamb with smoked garlic and provencal vegetables

For the lamb

4 lamb chops

Few sprigs thyme

1-2 tbsp olive oil

3 smoked garlic, skin on and crushed

4 tomatoes

For the vegetables

2 tbsp olive oil

1 aubergine

1 courgette, sliced

2 cloves smoked garlic, skin on and crushed

1 tsp thyme, leaves only

For the sauce vierge

4 tomatoes, on the vine, cut into quarters

1 lemon, juice only

Small bunch basil, chopped

Olive oil

Cooking the lamb: Sprinkle the lamb chops with salt, pepper and thyme leaves.

Pour the oil into a non-stick frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add the lamb, smoked garlic and tomatoes and cook for about 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Leave aside.

Cooking the vegetables:  Pour the olive oil into another pan and heat. Add the aubergine, courgette and smoked garlic cloves then sauté for about 3 or 4 minutes. Mix in the thyme, salt and pepper and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until tender.

Making the sauce vierge: Tip the chopped tomatoes, lemon juice, basil and a good splash of olive oil into a pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then warm for about 3 or 4 minutes.

Place the lamb chops into the pan and warm through.

Transfer the lamb onto a serving dish, spoon over the sauce and top with the roasted tomatoes.
