Category: Lamb food recipes
Ingredients
- aluminum foil
- 6 (8 ounce) lamb shoulder chops
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 sprigs chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 small zucchini, halved
- 6 small carrots, halved
- 8 ounces mushrooms, halved
- 3 onions, sliced
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, cut into 6 squares
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Place 1 piece of heavy duty aluminum foil vertically on a work surface and 1 large piece aluminum foil horizontally on top, large enough to cover 1 lamb chop and vegetables..
-
Place 1 lamb chop in the middle of the aluminum foil and rub with 1/2 tablespoon garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Repeat with remaining chops.
-
Stack zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, and onion on top of each lamb chop. Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Top each with 1 square of feta cheese. Tightly seal each package by wrapping the first piece of foil around the meat and vegetables, followed by the second.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until lamb is cooked but still pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Serve each person their own individual parcel.
