Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops
- 60 oz non fat greek yogurt
- 6 eggs
- 0.5 cup rice
- 5 medium garlic cloves
- 4 tbsps butter
- pinch oregano
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Boil lamb chops for about 30 minutes. Add a little bit of salt towards the end. Towards the end of these 30 minutes, turn the oven on at 380 degrees so it can be ready.
- Place the rice in the baking tray. Add the lamb chops and 2 cups of lamb broth to the tray. Add a little bit of butter to each lamb chop individually. Bake for about 15 minutes to give the lamb a crispy layer. Rice will absorb all the lamb broth. Add oregano to lamb chops as desired.
- While the lamb is baking, whisk the egss in a large bowl.
- Smash the garlic cloves and salt in a garlic mortar. Be careful with salt quantity because we already used some when we cooked the lamb.
- Add the garlic/salt to the eggs, continue whisking to ensure the garlic/salt is distributed equally.
- Add yogurt slowly, cup by cup and mix well to create a homogeneous mixture.
- Once the mix is ready, you add it on the baking tray on top of the lamb chops. Add remaining butter to the tray too.
- Bake at 380 degrees for about 45 minutes. Serve warm:)
