Sastojci

1/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 Tablespoon lemon zest

1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

1 1/2 Tablespoon finely chopped mint

1 Tablespoon finely chopped chives

3 cloves garlic, minced finely

1/4 teaspoon Morton kosher salt*

2 pounds bone-in lamb rib chops or loin chops*

2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt*

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 Tablespoons avocado oil

Upute

In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, mint, chives, garlic, and salt. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

In a large bowl, toss the lamb chops with the salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. (Optional: Let the seasoned chops sit for 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking.)

Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, place about 4 of the chops on the hot pan (you will have to work in batches). Sear for 2-4 minutes depending on desired doneness.

Once the lamb has a deep brown crust, flip and sear another 2-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batches.

Flip the chops on their rounded fat side (see photo above) and render the fat for about 1 minute.

Allow the lamb chops to rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with the sauce.
