Greek Pan Seared Lamb Chops
These Pan Seared Lamb Chops take less than 10 minutes on your stove! You can happily stop there, but the Feta Mint Sauce and freshly toasted flatbread take this lamb chop recipe over the top.
https://www.themediterraneandish.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Lamb-16.jpg
Ingredients
People often think of lamb as a weekend-only treat and though I love a big, slow-roasted leg of lamb or parchment-wrapped lamb for a special occasion, lamb doesn’t get enough credit for being the quick-cooking, full-flavor, weeknight-friendly meat that it is. You just need the right cut!
Slender lamb chops cook quickly in a hot pan, becoming juicy and tender in minutes. Fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon in this pan seared lamb chops recipe give the meat an aromatic quality. I serve everything family-style for a casual, communal spirit. While you can pick your own sides, I love the combination of a refreshing refreshing Feta Mint sauce included in this recipe.
Dressing up store-bought or homemade Pita Bread with aromatic za’atar and a quick toast in your oven means a full meal is on your table in 30 minutes or less.

Spiced Cherry Glazed Gammon
Gammom has earned its reputable position on the Festive dining table but making it can be intimidating. But with a Pressure cooker or Instant Pot that is a thing of the past.
Ingredients
1,5l ginger beer (you can use water as well)
1 carrot, sliced
1 onion, quartered
3 bay leaves
Cherry Glaze
1 C cherries, halved and pitted
1 C rosé, use verjuice or pomegranate juice as a non alcoholic option
¼ C white sugar
3 star anise
1 cinnamon quill
3 Tbsp brown sugar
600g Brussel sprouts, halved
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt & pepper
Directions
Set the Pressure Cooker on High for 45 minutes. (15 minutes for every 500g).
Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure manually.
Remove the gammon from the Instant Pot.
Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
With a sharp knife, score the fat of the gammon, being careful not to cut the flesh. In a bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest and toss Brussel Sprouts until coated. Glaze gammon with half the liquid, reserving some for glazing after cooking.
Place the gammon and Brussel Sprouts under grill in oven.
Enjoy the tasty, crispy gammon.

Rasberry Jam
There are few things in life as satisfying as whipping up a jar of home-made jam. This batch is easy to prepare, and is made entirely from natural ingredients
Ingredients
4 cups white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
Directions
In a large bowl, mash the raspberries until you have enough for four cups.
In a saucepan, combine the fruit, sugar and lemon juice, and stir on a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase to a high heat, bring the mixture to a full boil and stir frequently until the mixture reaches a temperature of around 104°C.
To check if the jam is ready, do the gelling test: take a tablespoon of the jam and place it onto a cool plate. If the mixture is firm and stays put, the jam is done. If it is not firm enough and slips off the plate, cook it for a few more minutes. Repeat the test. If the mixture hasn’t reached the desired consistency, add a little more sugar.
When the jam is ready, pour it into a sterilised, lidded jar while still very hot, allow it to cool down completely, and place the lid on the jar.

Grilled sardines
This is quite simply a fantastic recipe for sardines. Sardines are extremely healthy - an excellent source of omega-3, B12, and selenium - and just as important: they're the cleanest, healthiest fish to eat, and also sea-friendly.
While most people associate sardines with the canned variety, "real" sardines are something else entirely.
They turn out crispy on the outside, tender and ultra-flavorful inside. II buy them frozen at my local supermarket. They're really inexpensive, and here's a funny tip: my dogs love to eat the heads and tails, so nothing goes wasted, plus it's good for them! Enjoy!
Ingredients
•1 tsp. salt
Directions
When done, fish will appear golden and the skin will be crisp.
