Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 shallots Shallots, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.25 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups Goat cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel, then season them generously on both sides with the salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release the browned bits for extra flavor. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock and continue to simmer for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the crumbled goat cheese and heavy cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the lamb chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and drizzle the goat cheese white wine reduction over them.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
