INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz Lamb loin chops

1 cup Asparagus spears

0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves Garlic

1 tsp Fresh rosemary

1 tsp Fresh thyme

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 tbsp Lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 3

  Drizzle the asparagus with half of the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Finely mince the garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme, then combine them in a small bowl.

• 5

  Rub the garlic-herb mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops and season with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.

• 6

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

• 7

  Sear the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a savory golden-brown crust has formed.

• 8

  While the lamb is searing, place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes until tender but still vibrant.

• 9

  Allow the lamb chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted asparagus with a fresh drizzle of lemon juice.
