Wondering what to serve with lamb chops? I’ve got you covered!
Lamb chops are always a special meal, not to mention that they can be quite pricy, so you want to make sure to pick those perfect side dishes to round out the meal.
Personally, I like both a starch and either a vegetable or salad to pair with my lamb chops. Sometimes I even like a nice sauce to compliment the meat. So with that in mind, I’ve included a big variety of accompaniments to choose from.
Be sure to let me know your favorites in the comments!
What to Serve with Lamb Chops:
1. Greek Green Beans
My Fasolakia, or Greek Green Beans, will make you wonder how simple green beans can be so wonderfully delicious. But believe me, this Greek recipe might change the way you think about this humble vegetable.
Slow-simmered to allow the flavors to mingle, this green bean recipe is like nothing you have tried before.
2. Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, buttery, fluffy mash! Everybody’s favorite something you grew up on… that made-’em-a-million-times, tried and tested family affair.
I first tried adding goat cheese a few years ago at Thanksgiving and never went back to plain!
3. Greek Salad
This traditional Greek Salad recipe, known to the locals as Horiatiki, is one of my favorites. Crisp cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, red onions, briny olives and capers, creamy feta, and a simple herb dressing.
That’s all it takes. And the results are top notch.
4. Steak Fries
Try these effortlessly delectable baked Steak Fries, which effortlessly complement any meal. I just give them a quick and simple seasoning, then stick ’em in the oven.
5. Mediterranean Rice
I’m always excited to make this simple Mediterranean Rice! It’s packed with warm, comforting spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, and the flavors really pop with every bite. The rice gets a gorgeous color from turmeric, and the toasty pine nuts, almonds, and sweet raisins on top make it extra special. Plus, it’s super easy to make!

This easy Red Wine Mushroom is the BEST! Tender mushrooms cook in a rich, herb infused wine sauce, which gets slightly thickened at the end for a velvety texture.

It’s very forgiving and only takes 3 minutes of active effort. Now that sounds unbelievable, right? Not so. Try it yourself today.
10. Green Beans Almondine

14. Roasted Asparagus
These easy Roasted Asparagus are an essential veggie side dish. They’re the perfect accompaniment to your grilled or roasted meats, and they’re so easy!
While asparagus are great any way, be it steamed, blanched or sautéed, something special happens when you roast them. That caramelization adds a whole extra layer of umami flavor.
15. Tabbouleh
If you’re looking for a new salad recipe, I have just the one… Tabbouleh!

And once you drizzle on that easy homemade dressing… perfection!
