Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken or lamb stock
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Melt the butter completely and swirl to combine with the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the chicken or lamb stock and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Allow the liquid to come to a gentle simmer.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes silky.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Garlic Lemon Lamb Sauce warm over your favorite lamb dishes, such as lamb chops, roast lamb, or grilled lamb steaks. Enjoy!
