Name: Garlic and Rosemary Fried Lamb Chops
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 pieces lamb chops; 1 tbsp oregano; 1/4 tsp cumin; 1/4 tsp bbq rub; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 1 tbsp vinegar; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp salt; 1 tsp lemon juice; 1 tbsp cooking oil; 3 cloves garlic; 1 tbsp rosemary; 1 tsp butter; for garnish parsley; for garnish cherry tomatoes

1

In a small bowl, combine the oregano, cumin, barbecue spices, black pepper, vinegar, and olive oil, stirring well to form the marinade.

2

Season both sides of the lamb chops evenly with the salt.

3

Rub the spice marinade thoroughly over all sides of each chop.

4

Drizzle the lemon juice over the seasoned lamb chops.

5

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 to 5 hours, or overnight for the deepest flavor.

6

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

7

Place the lamb chops in the skillet and sear for approximately 5 minutes on each side until browned to your preferred doneness, searing the fat edges briefly if desired.

8

Add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter into the pan beside the meat.

9

Once the butter melts, repeatedly spoon the herb-and-garlic-infused butter over the chops for 1 to 2 minutes to keep them moist.

10

Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley and cherry tomatoes before serving hot.
