Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling 200g of pink lentils in plenty of water for about 10-12 minutes, or follow the package instructions. Drain once cooked.
  2. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) for roasting. Place 3 whole red bell peppers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast them for 30 minutes.
  3. After roasting, place the peppers in a plastic bag for 5 minutes to steam, making it easier to peel off the skin.
  4. While the peppers are resting, finely chop the parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and red chili. Mix these with a bit of olive oil to create a marinade for your 8 lamb chops.
  5. Drain the marinated lamb chops and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes.
  6. While the lamb is cooking, dice the cooled, peeled red peppers, thinly slice the red onion into julienne strips, and finely chop the optional chorizo.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, diced chorizo, roasted peppers, sliced onion, chopped cilantro, and season with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. To finish, plate the dish by mounding the lentil salad and arranging the roasted lamb chops around it. Drizzle with a chimichurri sauce made from the leftover marinade mixed with half of the balsamic vinegar. Enjoy your delightful meal!
