Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Lamb Chops: Brush the lamb chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with chopped rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor. (Marinating time: 15 minutes - 2 hours)
02
StepSear the Lamb Chops: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until beautifully browned and cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135°F (57°C); for medium, 145°F (63°C). (Cooking time: 4-6 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Mint Oil: While the lamb chops are cooking, combine the fresh mint leaves, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and vibrant green. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)
04
StepServe: Drizzle the freshly made mint oil generously over the seared lamb chops. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
