Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Remove the skin from the lamb if it is still attached, then score the fat in a criss-cross pattern with lines 1-2cm apart, trying not to cut into the meat.
- Put the lamb in a small roasting tray, drizzle with the olive oil and season well. Cook in the oven for 22-28 minutes, depending on how pink you like it to be.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, put the mint, parsley, capers, anchovies, olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a food processor. Whizz for 1 minute, then taste and add more salt, pepper or lemon juice to taste if needed.
- Once the lamb is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven, cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Cut between the chops and serve 3 per person. Serve with a drizzle of the mint and parsley sauce.
