Recipe: Cuban lamb chops with sweet potato and black bean salad

March 9, 2017 by Shari

One of my favourite things about moving to Sydney, is the opportunity to see family more regularly. One such family catch up that I have been enjoying, is the ‘lamb chop challenge’ that I have been having with my Uncle. Basically, my Uncle is a single man who doesn’t cook, so when he wins the meat tray at the local club, he brings it around to my house for me to turn it into a delicious dinner.

Each week, I take the lamb chops to another country. And last week, I took the lamb chops to Cuba with the addition of lime zest, paprika and oregano!

These Cuban lamb chops with sweet potato and black bean salad are extremely moorish and I actually really like the lamb chops cold too {although those might just be the words of a hungry Mama who is basically breast feeding 24/7}.

Cuban lamb chops with sweet potato and black bean salad

CUBAN LAMB CHOPS WITH SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

12 lamb chops
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp ground cumin
zest of a lime
500 grams sweet potato
4 roma tomatoes
1 can of black beans
2 avocados
1 packet of baby spinach
1/2 cup of greek yoghurt
1 lime
olive oil

Combine the oregano, chilli flakes, cumin and lime zest. Reserve half and then sprinkle the second half on the lamb chops.

Place the sweet potato in a bowl with a little olive oil and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer in a large roast pan and cook for 35 minutes until crisp.

Heat a chargrill pan to medium, drizzle the chops with a little olive oil and a little salt before cooking.

Combine the remaining salad ingredients with the sweet potato in the roasting pan. Top with greek yoghurt mixed with lime juice, lime zest and a little olive oil.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
