Perfectly seared lamb chops, crusty on the outside and tender within, invigorated by a vibrant mix of fresh parsley, sharp garlic, and bright lemon zest. A simple, potent dish that lets the lamb shine.
Ingredients
4 servings
Lamb Chops
Lamb loin or rib chops1.2 kg
Lard or tallow4 tbsp
Sea salt1.5 tsp
Black pepper1 tsp
Herb & Garlic Crust
Fresh parsley1 bunch
Garlic4 cloves
Lemon1 whole
Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus spears1 bunch
Lard or tallow1 tbsp
Method
Lamb Chops
1
Pat the lamb chops thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Herb & Garlic Crust
2
Finely chop the fresh parsley. Mince the garlic cloves. Using a fine grater, zest the lemon. Combine the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
3
Sear the Lamb Chops: Heat 2 tablespoons of lard or tallow in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the lamb chops in batches to avoid overcrowding, for 3-5 minutes per side, until a deep, golden-brown crust forms. The internal temperature for medium-rare should be 54-57°C (130-135°F). Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
4
Rest the Lamb Chops: Once seared, transfer the chops to a cutting board and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Roasted Asparagus
5
While the chops rest, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of lard or tallow, a pinch of salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 8-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Finish and Plate
6
Just before serving, sprinkle the herb and garlic crust mixture over the rested lamb chops. Serve immediately with the roasted asparagus on the side. The vibrant crust will cling to the warm chops.
