Lamb chops have a distinctively rich and savory flavor. You may grill them or fry them in a cast-iron skillet (or regular pan). Perfect for dinner parties, and this quick-cooking lamb chops also add variety to weeknight meals. Once you try these lamb chops, you will never look back!
Ingredients:
- 750g/ 1.5lb lamb chops (loin chops, forequarter, cutlets)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
For the Homemade Gravy:
- 2-3 tbsp butter (unsalted)
- 5 tbsp flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 ½ cup beef broth
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Procedure:
- Remove lamb chops from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking time. Blot them dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Heat a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add the oil, and sear the lamb chops for about 2 ½ minutes per side.
- After searing both sides, sear the fat cap for about a minute. Once done, turn off the heat, remove the lamb chops, and transfer them into a wire rack.
For the Homemade Gravy:
- Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add half of the flour, constantly stirring, then add the rest.
- Cook until the color of the flour turns to medium brown. Add the liquid slowly and continue whisking until it’s completely incorporated.
- Make sure there are no lumps remaining (much better to use a wire whisk). Add ground black pepper.
- Bring the gravy to a boil, simmer for a few minutes until gravy reaches the consistency you prefer, takes 3-5 minutes.
- Time for plating! On a clean plate, add the seared lamb chops, side it with steamed asparagus or mashed potato, and drizzle some homemade gravy on the lamb chops’ top.
