Ingredients
    For the lamb chops and veggies
  • 8 lamb chops
  • 1 aubergine (halved lengthwise)
  • 2 courgettes (cut into widthwise and lengthwise pieces)
  • 2 bell peppers (quartered and deseeded)
  • 3 cherry tomato brunches
  • 6 small shallots
  • 1/2 tsp garlic granules
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Olive oil spray
    • For the Dough:
  • 210 ml lukewarm water
  • 3/4 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tbsp yeast
  • 375 g bread flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
    • For Garnish:
  • Chopped coriander
Instructions

  1.  Mix the water, sugar, and yeast, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Combine the flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon, then knead with your hands until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  2.  Set your grill to 260°C.

  3. Season the lamb chops with salt, pepper, and garlic granules, then drizzle with a bit of olive oil.

    Adjust seasoning based on personal preference. Feel free to add herbs or spices to the vegetables or lamb for extra flavour.

  4.  Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and olive oil.

  5.  Grill the lamb chops until nicely seared, then set aside. Grill the vegetables until golden.

    Maintain a consistent grill temperature to ensure even cooking.

  6. Transfer the vegetables to a greased large cast-iron skillet. Squeeze the shallots, peel the skin from the peppers, and arrange the lamb chops on top.

  7.  Roll out the dough to a size slightly larger than the skillet. Cover the skillet with the dough, then reduce the grill temperature to 220°C.

  8. Place the skillet back on the grill and cover with the lid. Bake until the dough is golden and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

    The dough should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. If it’s not fully cooked after 30 minutes, continue baking until done.

  9. Once done, score the dough with a knife, open it, garnish with chopped coriander, and enjoy!
