What's Cooking

What's Cooking, Ol Jeez?

Simple Lamb Loin Chops

Flavor packed lamb chops with simple ingredients.

Who: Beautiful Lamb Loin Chops
What: Lamb with garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
When: About 45 minutes, mostly hands-off
Where: Scored some lamb loin chops while at Sam's Club
Why: Wanted something delightful but different. Simple but elegant.

The Move: Marinade for an hour and cook only a few minutes per side. Add fresh squeezed lemon juice about 30 seconds before turning off the heat. Add butter when heat is off. Let sauce thicken while lamb is resting. Serve with Berbere spiced creamer potatoes.
