For tonight’s dinner we tried to use up some ingredients in the fridge to make a side “hash” to accompany one of our favorite meats: lamb loin chops.  We also made couscous and a spinach salad with bacon, tomato and avocado.  The hash was really fun to make: we used a left over baked potato (chopped up), chopped red onion, an orphan chicken sausage and some frozen corn…very tasty.  For the couscous we decided to try cooking it with chicken broth instead of just water.  The broth added a lot of flavor. And for the lamb chops? Just a quick marinade of olive oil, chopped garlic and salt and pepper was all we needed.  We grilled them on top of the stove and then finished them in the oven. Yum.
