INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz Lamb loin chops

0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp Fresh rosemary

1 tsp Fresh thyme

2 cloves Garlic

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves

1 tbsp Lemon juice

0.5 tsp Honey

1 cup Asparagus spears

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the minced rosemary, thyme, one clove of minced garlic, sea salt, pepper, and half of the olive oil to create a paste.

• 2

  Rub the herb paste evenly over both sides of the lamb loin chops and allow them to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

• 3

  Prepare the zesty mint sauce by whisking together the finely chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, honey, and the remaining clove of minced garlic in a small ramekin.

• 4

  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining olive oil until the pan is shimmering and hot.

• 5

  Place the lamb chops in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, ensuring a deep golden-brown crust forms.

• 6

  While the lamb rests on a warm plate for 5 minutes, steam the trimmed asparagus spears for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright green.

• 7

  Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops alongside the steamed asparagus and drizzle the zesty mint sauce generously over the meat.
