- So how to make lamb chops? The first step is to make sure that the meat has room temperature. If you get it out of the freezer and start preparing it instantly, it won’t soak up the juices well.
- Make a mixture of salt, pepper, chopped thyme and rosemary leaves, and a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Use this blend to season the lamb chops. When cooking lamb chops, restaurants sometimes add a half glass of white wine to this mixture to make the taste more interesting.
- When you finish the seasoning, put the meat aside to rest for a few moments until you melt the butter at medium-high temperature. The great thing about this lamb chops recipe is that you’ll need one pan only for the meat and the sauce too.
- After you melt the butter, add smashed garlic cloves into it, and raise the temperature to high. Place the lamb chops into the skillet and cook them until a beautiful, brown crust forms. Flip the meat.
- The next step is to transfer the lamb chops onto a plate and make the sauce.
- Add olive oil, a bit more butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, smashed garlic cloves, and chopped spices to the skillet you used for cooking the lamb chops. Stir the sauce up until all the ingredients are bound together. Pour the sauce over the meat, and voila, the dish is ready to serve.
