Bring on the flavour with these herb-marinated lamb chops and a baked, spiced aubergine.
For the lamb chops, marinate in pomace oil, rosemary, thyme and garlic for at least an hour.
For the harissa glazed aubergine preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with foil.
Heat a griddle until hot. Brush the aubergine with oil and season with salt. Griddle well on each side then transfer to the tray. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile mix the harissa paste, agave, lemon juice together with 4 teaspoons of water and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Remove the aubergine from the oven and brush with the harissa mix. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Mix the yoghurt with the lemon juice, zest and pinch of salt. Set aside.
For the chutney, in large saucepan of boiling, salted water blanch the beans for 1-2 minutes. Refresh them in cold water, then drain.
Mix the mint, garlic, shallot, vinegar and oil in a bowl.
Stir in the beans and set aside.
To finish the lamb, preheat the grill to high. Season the chops and grill until cooked to your liking.
To serve, put the aubergine on a large plate and dot the yoghurt around, sprinkle with peanuts and chilli and garnish with the coriander. Serve with the lamb chops and green bean and mint chutney.
