Ingredients

For the Lamb Chops

  • 8 lamb chops - each approx. 1-inch thick
  • salt and pepper - to season
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley - minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary - minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil - for cooking
  • 2 tablespoon butter - for cooking

Instructions

For the Lamb Chops

  • Season. Generously season both sides of your lamb chops with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the garlic herb marinade. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil with the freshly minced garlic and fresh herbs. Use a pastry brush to brush both sides of the lamb chops. Discard any remaining marinade and allow chops to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (see notes).
  • Cook. When ready to cook heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. When the olive oil just starts to smoke, start adding the lamb chops to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the butter to the skillet, flip each lamb chop, and continue to cook until they register 125°F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium using a digital meat thermometer, approximately 4-5 minutes more.
  • Rest. Remove lamb chops from the skillet and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • Serve. Serve lamb chops with homemade mint chutney (recipe below) or other favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are marinating for more than 30 minutes, cover your lamb chops and transfer them to the refrigerator. For even cooking, allow lamb chops to come to room temperature before cooking.
  • You may marinate the lamb for up to 24 hours.
  • Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
