Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 5.
Using a pestle and mortar or wooden spoon and bowl, pound together the fresh mint, fresh rosemary and the garlic, then mix with 1 tbsp olive oil. Smear over four lean lamb chops or cutlets.
Place the aubergine, courgette and red or yellow pepper on to a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and place the lamb chops on top. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
