Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 2 Mixing bowl
- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Mixing spoon
- 1 Juicer
- 1 Tongs
- 1 Chopping board
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 500 gram lamb chops approx. 4
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 1 handful fresh mint
Instructions
- Combine the lamb chops, lemon juice, oregano, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes or so, or longer in the fridge if you have time. Meanwhile preheat the air fryer to 190 Degrees Celsius/375 Fahrenheit.
- Place lamb cutlets in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius/375 Fahrenheit, or according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Remove the air fryer basket and flip the lamb chops.
- Remove the lower basket and pour off any fat collected in the bottom of the basket. This will help stop the air fryer producing smoke.
- Return the air fryer basket and cook for a further 5 - 10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- When cooked, remove the lamb chops from the air fryer basket and rest for a couple of minutes prior to serving.
- To make the sauce, finely chop the mint and combine with yogurt and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
