Ingredients

• 6 lamb chops
• 4 Fennel sausages
• 1 aubergine
• 1 courgette
• 1 red onion, roughly chopped
• A handful of cherry tomatoes
• Feta cheese, crumbled
• Firefly Greek Gyro rub
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh coriander and mint, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• 1 lemon
• Olive oil
• Dash of Tabasco

Method

1. Prepare the lamb
   Season the lamb chops generously with the Greek Gyro rub and set aside while you prepare the grill.

1. Light the grill
   Get your BBQ nice and hot, creating a direct heat side for grilling and a cooler side for resting.
2. Add the Fennel Sausages - grill the sausages turning them as required 
3. Prepare the vegetables
   Slice the aubergine and courgette, and roughly chop the red onion. Place them directly onto the BBQ to char slightly, along with the cherry tomatoes.
4. Roast the vegetables
   Once lightly charred, transfer the vegetables to a roasting pan or casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook on the grill (or in an oven) until soft and tender.
5. Add the cooked sausages - Toss the sausages in with the roasted vegetables. 
6. Make the tomato lemon salsa
   In a bowl, combine the tomato purée, cumin, a dash of Tabasco, juice of the whole lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and finely chopped coriander. Mix well with a fork until smooth and set aside.
7. Grill the Lamb Chops
   Place the lamb chops on the hot side of the grill. Cook on high heat, turning the lamb after a couple of minutes to ensure even cooking. Once the lamb releases juices (blood) on the surface, remove from the heat and add to the vegetables and sausages to rest. 

1. Rest and combine
   Lay the grilled lamb chops on top of the roasted vegetables and sausages. Spoon the tomato lemon salsa over the meats, then move the dish to the cooler side of the grill. Allow everything to rest for around 10 minutes.
2. Serve
   Finish by sprinkling over crumbled feta and freshly chopped coriander and mint.

Serving Suggestion

Serve straight from the roasting dish for a rustic, sharing-style meal. Pair with warm flatbreads or a simple green salad for a complete feast.

Enjoy the combination of smoky, zesty, and herbaceous flavours, perfect for outdoor cooking and relaxed gatherings.
