Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Chops

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
4 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup minced shallots
⅓ cup aged balsamic vinegar
¾ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops before cooking: This helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, herbs, and spices, or try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or citrus juice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and create a nice crust, while leaving the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.

Conclusion:

Good Thyme Lamb Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can create perfectly cooked lamb chops that are sure to impress your family and friends. Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
