Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Relish

These succulent grilled lamb chops with pomegranate relish offer a sophisticated balance of savoury and sweet flavours. The richness of the lamb is perfectly cut by a vibrant, jewel-toned relish featuring fresh mint, citrus, and tart pomegranate seeds. By marinating the meat in a blend of red wine and pomegranate concentrate, you ensure every bite is deeply aromatic and tender. This is a refined way to serve lamb that feels special without requiring hours of preparation.

As a dairy-free main course, this dish is an excellent choice for light entertaining or a healthy weekend dinner. The recipe uses lean, frenched lamb chops which cook quickly on a hot griddle, making it as practical as it is impressive. Serve alongside roasted root vegetables or a simple herb salad to complete the meal.
