Minty Lamb Chops

There are so many different variations to home made mint sauce but this one has to be my favourite.  It's easy to make and it's delicious.  I hope you will like it as much as I do.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

 
4 Lamb Chops
2 tablespoons fresh mint, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Method:

Mix all the ingredients, apart from the lamb chops, together.
Coat the lamb chops in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Place a knob of butter into a sauce pan.
Add the lamb chops and cook for 1 minute on each side.
Transfer to a baking dish and place in a preheated oven for about 8 mins or until done.

Serve with roast tomatoes, salad and baby potatoes.

Home made Veggie Juice & Smoothies

Ready to Rock and Roll

In an attempt to lose weight, I have started drinking home made smoothies and veggie juice.  I have had a juicer for a couple of years but never really used it much.  I must say that I love my veggie juice now.  It's divine.  Below are some of the smoothies and juices I have been making.

Banana & Mango Bread

I decided to make my Noo’s some Banana Bread earlier today.  I also had a couple of over ripe Mangos and, instead of throwing them out, I decided to use them aswell.  I think they worked well together and the Mango made it really moist which was nice.
