Lamb Chops with Mediterranean Butter Bean Stew 🥘✨

Juicy Aussie lamb chops over a rich tomato and butter bean stew, finished with crumbled feta and herbs. Ready in under 40 minutes, budget-friendly, and built mostly from pantry staples. 👏 Tip: mid-loin or forequarter chops work just as well — big flavour, smaller spend. 💰 Ingredients 🥩 Lamb: • 8 lamb chops (about 450g), mid-loin or forequarter work great • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 garlic cloves, sliced • Zest of 1 lemon (pared rind) • Fresh rosemary sprigs • Salt & pepper Butter Bean Stew: • 1 tbsp vegetable oil • ½ red onion, finely chopped • 2 garlic cloves, chopped • 1 tbsp chopped sage • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes • 150ml chicken stock • 1 × 400g can whole plum tomatoes • 1 tbsp tomato paste • 2 × 400g cans butter beans, rinsed • 50g feta cheese • 1 tbsp chopped parsley Method 🧑‍🍳 Marinate the lamb: Toss chops with olive oil, garlic, lemon rind, and rosemary. Set aside while prepping the stew (even 20 mins works wonders). Make the stew: Sauté onion, garlic, sage, and chilli. Add stock, tomatoes, tomato paste, and beans. Simmer 15 mins until thick and rich. Sear the lamb: Cook chops over medium-high heat for 5–6 mins, turning often. Rest under foil for 10 mins. Serve: Spoon stew into bowls, top with lamb, crumble feta, and scatter parsley.
