Note
Tips: For best results, bring lamb chops to room temperature before cooking. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chops and desired doneness. For medium-rare, reduce cooking time to 11- 12 minutes.
The vegetables should be cut into similar sizes to guarantee even cooking. If the couscous seems dry, add a splash of hot stock or water when fluffing.
