A delicious dish! Here’s a simple recipe for lamb chops with garlic sauce:
Ingredients
For the lamb chops:
– 1 1/2 pounds lamb chops (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
For the garlic sauce:
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the lamb chops: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Brush the mixture evenly onto both sides of the lamb chops.
2. Grill the lamb chops: Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.
3. Make the garlic sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add liquids and simmer: Pour in the broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve: Serve the grilled lamb chops with the garlic sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme, if desired.
