Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Lamb Chops

This recipe features succulent lamb chops cooked with minimal ingredients to let the natural flavors shine. Using only lamb chops, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon, this dish is a celebration of simplicity and quality ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Lamb chops: 4, about 1 inch thick.
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, crushed.
  • Fresh rosemary: 2 sprigs, leaves picked.
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons.
  • Lemon: 1, zest and juice.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the lamb chops

Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper. Rub them with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves to coat them evenly.

Step 2: Heat the pan

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the lamb to achieve a good sear.

Step 3: Cook the lamb chops

Place the lamb chops in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare. Cook longer for your preferred doneness.

Step 4: Add lemon zest and juice

Once the lamb chops are nearly done, sprinkle lemon zest over them and squeeze in the juice for a burst of freshness. Toss the chops in the pan juices to coat.

Step 5: Rest and serve

Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
