Ingredients

3 carrots, peeled, cut into sticks
3 medium parsnips, peeled, cut into sticks
2 red onions, peeled, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
3 large cooked beetroot, cut into wedges
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 lamb chops, trimmed
small bunch mint, roughly chopped

Tip

Make it veggie
GRILLED HALLOUMI WITH HERBY VEG SALAD Roast the veg as above, then heat the grill to high. Thinly slice a 225g pack halloumi with mint, spread over a baking sheet and grill for 2-3 mins until golden and crisp. Toss the vegetables with ½ bunch mint and a small bunch coriander, roughly chopped, and 4 handfuls rocket. Serve with the warm halloumi, drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar.

Method

Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Mix together the carrots, parsnips and onions in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil, then roast for 15 mins. Toss in the beetroot, drizzle with 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, then roast for 15 mins more until just tender.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the chops for 6-8 mins, turning halfway, until cooked to your liking. Whizz half the mint in a small food processor with the remaining vinegar and oil, then season. Add a little water if the mixture is a bit thick. Toss the remaining mint with the roasted veg, then season and serve alongside the chops, drizzled with mint sauce.
