Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Add the oil to a large skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, cover with foil and set aside.

3. Add potato, onion, thyme and stock to a large sheet pan and stir. Transfer to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the onion is almost tender.

4. Remove the pan from the oven and add the peppers, lemon wedges and garlic. Stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Top with tomatoes. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 minutes or until vegetables are almost tender. 

5. Remove the pan from the oven and arrange the seared lamb chops on top. Sprinkle with olives and feta. Bake for another 10 minutes or until lamb is just cooked through and vegetables are tender and beginning to char. Sprinkle with thyme sprigs and serve.
