Roast lamb chops with brussels sprouts
Roasting the chops is really fuss-free and super tasty. The sweetness in the pears balances out the thin slices of Brussels sprouts. Of course if there is someone in the family who really likes Brussels sprouts you could slice them a little thicker.

- Then in a kitchen whizz or by hand finely chop parmesan, mint, and hazelnuts, sun dried tomatoes and mix with 100ml of olive oil. Add a little bit of water if the mixture needs help to blend.
