Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 8 lamb chops
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Rub the spice mixture over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4. Place the halved baby potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.
5. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and tender.
6. While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated lamb chops.
7. Sear the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
8. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the lamb chops alongside the rosemary-garlic roasted potatoes, garnished with additional herbs if desired.

Notes

Tip: For a more intense flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible, and adjust the spice levels according to your preference.

For the best flavor, marinate the lamb chops for at least an hour, or overnight if time permits. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat.

If you prefer a different herb, thyme can be used in place of rosemary for the potatoes. For a twist, add a sprinkle of paprika for some extra heat.

Leftover lamb chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain their juiciness.
