Method
Marinade Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Lamb Chops
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Tomato and Onion Topping

Sauté the Topping
In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Set aside.

Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, diced carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the vegetables are tender. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fluff with a fork.

Pan Seer the Lamb Chops
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off excess. In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
