Lamb Chops

[TxMedic]

Thought I would share this delicious and surprisingly simple recipe I made last night. Season chops with sea salt, course black pepper and freshly chopped thyme. Let rest for up to one hour. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet, I used a large cast iron. Sear chops on one side 6-10 minutes depending on thickness. Flip and repeat. Internal temp between 140-145 remove and set aside to rest. In the pan add another 2 tbsp butter, finely chopped shallots, 2 large cloves of garlic, a sprig of fresh thyme. Let the garlic and shallots brown. Deglaze with a half cup of chicken stock and let it reduce by about 1/3. Sprinkle with fresh lemon zest and pour over the resting chops.

I guess you have to develope a taste for mutton. Looks great though.

I can make myself sick on some good lamb chops. I am partial to mint jelly on them. Mutton and Lamb are not the same thing, same critter, but not same thing.

Yup mint jelly is great. Modern lamb chops are close to pork chops. Mutton is way different.............

It’s a shame most people don’t know the difference between mutton and lamb. Lamb is some fine eating.

I like to Texas mine up a bit by smoking it and I’ve taken to using jalapeño jelly instead of mint. Good stuff.
