Ingredients
For the Chops:
2 lamb chops
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of cumin
1 clove garlic grated
1 lemon, halved

100g thick Greek yogurt

Blackened Green Beans
175g green beans
2 tbs coriander leaves
Chopped 1 clove garlic, grated
Olive oil

Method
1. Mix the olive oil, garlic, cumin and honey and season with salt and pepper. Brush each chop with the paste, on both sides.
2. Heat a griddle pan over a high flame and add the chops. Cook for 1- 1 1/2 minutes, then flip and cook for the same amount of time on the other side. While cooking the lamb, also sear the lemon and blacken it on the flat side. Once cooked, set the chops aside on a warm plate to rest for 5 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and oil to a frying pan over a high heat and add the beans. Cook high and fast, tossing as you go for 2 minutes. Season, toss through the chopped coriander and divide between plates.
4. Swirl a little of the harissa and tahini through the yoghurt on each plate and top with the beans and then the lamb and lemon.
5. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
