We used a cast iron casserole dish to cook and serve this dish.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cumin, ginger and salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the lamb chops.
  3. Heat the avocado cooking oil in a casserole large enough to hold the lamb chops in a single layer. Brown the lamb chops on both sides. Set aside.
  4. In the same casserole, heat some more avocado cooking oil. Saute the onion and the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and olives then continue to cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour white wine and beef stock. Put the lamb chops back in. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Slice the boiled potatoes. Add the lemon wedges in the lamb mixture, then layer the potato slices on top. Season with generous amount of salt, sprinkle with parsley and drizzle avocado oil with chilli on top. Cover with the lid.  
  7. Cook in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour. Remove the lid turn the oven to 220°C / 430°F fan grill.   Return the casserole back in the oven and grill for a further 30 minutes or until the potatoes are starting to brown.
