Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is an internal temperature of 145°F, medium is 160°F). Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest under foil.
To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sriracha, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and warmed through.
Pour the spicy peanut sauce over the rested lamb chops or serve on the side for dipping.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve the lamb chops with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish.
