Lamb Chops with Parmesan and Parsley

17/11/2023

Lamb chops with Parmesan and parsley are a delicious and quite simple dish to prepare. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • Lamb chops (count about 3-4 chops per person)
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • Flour for breading

Preparation

  1. Set up a breading station with three plates: in the first, put the flour, in the second, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and in the third, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and garlic.

  2. Take the lamb chops and, if necessary, clean them leaving only a thin layer of fat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  3. Dredge each chop first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat well with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs well.

  4. In a frying pan, heat some extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the breaded chops and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked to the desired degree (about 3-4 minutes per side for rare).

  5. Once cooked, transfer the chops to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

  6. Serve the chops hot, perhaps with an additional sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Curiosity

In some variations, grated lemon zest is added to the breading to give a touch of freshness to the dish. Lamb chops with Parmesan and parsley can be an excellent main course paired with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad. Furthermore, Parmesan being an Italian cheese, adds a very local note to this dish which could have influences from other world cuisines.
