Red capsicum is a great source of vitamin C, and when combined with fresh mint and lemon it is a perfect, tangy accompaniment with Spring lamb.
Serves 4

2 tsp lemon pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red capsicum, deseeded, finely diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp dijon mustard

1 Sprinkle chops with lemon pepper. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When hot add 2 chops and cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Cook remaining chops.
