Smoky Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops with Zesty Chimichurri
Pan-seared lamb chops rubbed with smoky spices, finished with a vibrant, zesty herb chimichurri and served alongside tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lamb loin chops
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Fresh parsley
0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 cup Asparagus
PREPARATION
Prepare the chimichurri by finely mincing the fresh parsley, cilantro, and garlic clove.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced herbs and garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the red wine vinegar, then set aside to let the flavors meld.
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the dried oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the lamb cooks, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus until bright green and tender-crisp.
Plate the lamb chops and the asparagus, topping the meat generously with the zesty herb chimichurri before serving.
