Prep Time: 20 mins

Cooking Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 40 mins 

 

 

4 Lamb Chops

1/4 tsp Black Pepper

6 Garlic cloves

8 sprigs Thyme, rough chopped or minced

1/4 tsp All Purpose Seasoning

1/2 stick of butter 

A dash of Salt

1/4 tsp Ground Ginger

1/4 tsp Garlic powder

1/4 tsp ground Pimento

Oil 

 

 

Directions:

 

Prep Lamb Chops by washing with cool water and Vinegar (optional).

Pat them dry to remove any excess water by blotting them with a paper towel. Set aside.

In a separate bowl prep seasonings by adding 1/4 tsp each of Black Pepper, All Purpose Seasoning, ground Ginger, Garlic Powder, ground Pimento seeds and add a dash of salt or enough to your liking. Also remove the leaves from the stems of 2 sprigs if Thyme and add to bowl. Combine mix evenly. Sprinkle oil generously on both sides of Lamb Chops and the seasoning mix. The purpose of the oil is to help the seasoning marinate properly into the meat. 

Take about a 1 tsp of the minced Garlic and also spread evenly on both sides of Lamb Chops. Allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. 

Once the Lamb Chops have been fully marinated, add enough oil to a fully heated skillet, enough to coat it, over a medium-high heat. Add 1/4 stick of Butter with 1 tsp of minced Garlic and 3 sprigs of Thyme. Allow butter to melt with herbs and sauté for about 1 min. 

Add Lamb Chops to pot and sauté for for about 8 mins per side. Depending on the size of the Lamb Chop, cooking time may vary, therefore thicker cuts of Lamb Chops may require a longer cooking time.

 Remove the Lamb Chops from the pot and set aside once cooked.

Drain oil from pot ensuring to remove any charred herbs and add the remainder of Butter, Garlic and Thyme. Lower your heat at this point to prevent the herbs from burning. Sauté for about 2 mins and then remove from heat. Pour Herb butter over Lamb Chops ensuring that you get bits of herbs on each piece.

Serve with your favorite side.
