Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops or cutlets (about 1-inch thick)
- 12 cloves Garlic cloves (peeled)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Chicken or beef stock
Instructions
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle with half of the chopped rosemary. Allow them to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare or medium is recommended). Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside, tenting them with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the peeled garlic cloves and sauté them for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
Add the butter to the skillet along with the remaining rosemary. Continue to cook the garlic cloves for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize gently in the butter. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the balsamic vinegar reduce slightly for about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken or beef stock and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the lamb chops to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and spoon the caramelized garlic and sauce over the chops. Allow the lamb chops to warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the lamb chops to serving plates and spoon the caramelized garlic and sauce over the top. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
