- 8 loin lamb chops, double cut, about 2 inches thick
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan and add the oil. Brown the chops quickly over medium-high heat. Place the whole pan with the lamb in the oven. Roast the lamb chops 2 minutes per side for medium rare. After 4 minutes in the oven, remove the pan and set the frying pan in a warm place and allow the meat to rest in the pan another 2 minutes. This will relax the meat and finish the cooking. Serve with Onions Sautéed with Yogurt and Sesame Oil.
