Perfectly Seared Herb & Garlic Lamb Chops

Ingredients

• 8–10 rib lamb chops
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp coarse sea salt
• ½ tsp cracked black pepper

Method

1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels.
2. Mix olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make a marinade.
3. Coat both sides of each chop with the marinade and let sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes.
4. Heat a heavy or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
5. Sear the chops 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a crust forms and desired doneness is reached.
6. Top with extra fresh herbs before serving.
