Quick Roast Lamb Chops

Ingredients

• lamb chops, loin, raw — 4 chops
• garlic, peeled and smashed — 4 cloves
• fresh rosemary sprigs — 3 sprigs
• salted butter — 30g
• olive oil — 1 tbsp
• sea salt — 0.5 tsp
• black pepper — 0.5 tsp

Method

1. 1

   Pat the lamb chops dry with kitchen paper and season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Add the lamb chops to the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a deep brown crust.

4. 4

   Turn the chops over and immediately add the butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the pan.

5. 5

   As the butter melts and foams, tilt the pan slightly and use a large spoon to baste the chops continuously with the infused butter for another 3 minutes for medium-rare.

6. 6

   Remove the lamb from the pan and let it rest on a warm plate for 3-5 minutes before serving.
