Tender Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops with Zesty Chimichurri
Pan-seared lamb chops seasoned with aromatic herbs, served with a vibrant, zesty chimichurri sauce and crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz lamb loin chops
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 cup fresh parsley
0.25 cup fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.13 tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup asparagus spears
PREPARATION
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Prepare the chimichurri by finely mincing the parsley, cilantro, and garlic clove, then whisking them in a small bowl with the red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and half of the olive oil.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam or lightly sauté them in a pan with a splash of water until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the lamb chops in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, ensuring a golden-brown herb crust forms.
Remove the lamb from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the asparagus and drizzling generously with the fresh chimichurri sauce.
