Lamb Chops with Curried Broccoli and Yogurt Sauce














The yogurt sauce paired nicely with the savory and spicy flavors of the lamb and broccoli. You can also use cauliflower or potatoes instead of the broccoli if you prefer.

1 cup basmati rice

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound fresh broccoli
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
8 (3 to 5 ounces each) lamb chops

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper then set aside. Cook rice according to package and set aside.

Break broccoli into large florets; place on a rimmed baking sheet with onions. Sprinkle with oil and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt evenly in the bottom of skillet. Add lamb chops, and cook on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve lamb with rice, broccoli and yogurt sauce.
