For the lamb:

Preheat the oven to 400º. Peel the onions and cut two of them into rough quarters. Peel the carrots and cut them into 2" batons. Pour the sunflower oil into an ovenproof baking dish and place the lamb chops in the center. Surround the lamb with the quartered onions, carrots, and thyme. Bake in the oven for 40 min. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the sauce. Start cooking the rice 15 min. before the lamb is ready.

For the lime-mint sauce:

Cut the two limes in half and squeeze the juice of both into a blender. Remove the stalk from the jalapeño pepper. Add the honey, jalapeño pepper, white wine vinegar, and mint leaves to the blender and blitz. Pout into a dish and set aside.

For the rice:

Boil a kettle full of water (at least 2½ c.) Dice the third onion. Place a saucepan over high heat and add the olive oil, then add the onion, and stir for 2 min. Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to evenly coat the rice in the olive oil. Pour 2½ c. of boiling water over the rice and onion. Do not stir the rice again. Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the rice to cook, covered, for 8 min., then remove from the heat.

To serve, place 2 lamb chops on each plate with the onions and carrots. Divide the rice between the plates and pour the lime-mint sauce over the lamb chops.
