Ingredients
- 8 pieces plant-based lamb chops substitute
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Mince the fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley finely. Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the minced herbs with crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the plant-based lamb chops into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Step 4
While the chops are marinating, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Remove the marinated chops from the refrigerator. Coat each chop evenly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the herb-crusted chops onto the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the 'lamb' is heated through.
Step 9
Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Vegetarian Grilled Herb-Crusted 'Lamb' Chops with your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
