Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the garlic herb mixture all over the lamb chops. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
- Remove lamb chops from the skillet and set aside.

Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the lamb chops for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your lamb chops and your preferred level of doneness.
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs. Use 1 tablespoon each of fresh rosemary and thyme.
