What it is
A rustic and flavorful skillet dish featuring tender lamb chops (kastaleta ghanam) seared and then simmered with briny green olives, fresh garlic, and a hint of lemon, all in generous olive oil. This preparation emphasizes the natural richness of the lamb complemented by the sharp, salty notes of the olives.
Key ingredients
Lamb chops, green olives (pitted), fresh garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no starchy vegetables (like potatoes or carrots) are added to the skillet. Request extra olive oil. Verify olives are plain and not sugar-cured.
Watch out for
Potential for small amounts of tomatoes or bell peppers in the 'qalayet' that can add up. Ensure plain olives are used, as some preserved olives may contain hidden sugars.
