Ingredients:
– 4 lamb chops
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– Zest and juice of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh lemon slices for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the lamb chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. Once the chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
5. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
6. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
7. Return the lamb chops to the skillet, spooning the garlic lemon butter over the top. Cook for an additional minute to warm them through.
8. Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter, drizzle with the garlic butter, and garnish with fresh lemon slices.
Notes:
Feel free to add a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
You can marinate the lamb chops in the lemon-garlic butter for a few hours for even more flavor!
