Method

Heat half the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions, cover and cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium-high and cook for a further 5 mins or until caramelised. Stir in the lentils and cook over a low heat until heated through.
Meanwhile, brush the lamb chops with the remaining oil, then coat in the ground peppercorns and a good pinch of salt. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Cook the chops for 2 mins each side, or until cooked to your liking.
Put the spinach in a medium pan, season and cover. Cook over a low heat for 2-3 mins (the leaves will stew in their own liquid) until wilted. Drain.
Mix the spinach with the lentils, then divide between four plates. Put two lamb chops on top and season with extra ground peppercorns.
