Lamb Chops

Here is an Italian recipe for preparing delicious lamb chops.

Ingredients

• 8 lamb chops
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Sprigs of fresh rosemary
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
2. Prepare a mince with the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary.
3. Massage the lamb chops with the garlic and rosemary mince, then season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to your taste.
4. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, lay the lamb chops in it and let them brown for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are well sealed.
5. Transfer the chops to a baking dish. You can add more sprigs of rosemary to flavor.
6. Bake the lamb chops for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how you prefer them cooked.
7. Remove the chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat even juicier.

Serve the lamb chops with light sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
