Method
Heat the oven to 200°C fan bake. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix the reduced cream and onion soup mix in a bowl to form a thick dip.
In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, parsley and lemon zest.
Pat the lamb chops dry. Rub with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
Spread a spoonful of the onion dip mixture over the top of each chop.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the onion dip to form a thick crust.
Place chops on the tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then finish under the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until golden.
Serve with mashed spuds, steamed greens or a simple summer salad.
Pro tips:
- For a quicker, lighter option, cook the chops in an air fryer at 190°C for 10–12 minutes.
- Use leftover lamb or switch to lamb shoulder chops for more budget-friendly options.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon over the top just before serving to brighten the flavours.
• Pair with creamy mashed kumara or roasted seasonal vegetables for a true Kiwi feast.
