Ingredients
8 lamb chops (rib or loin — available fresh daily at Ridgefield Prime Market)
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp butter

3. Sear
Add lamb chops in a single layer. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. Butter baste
Lower heat slightly. Add butter and spoon the melted butter over the chops for 30–60 seconds.
5. Check doneness
Medium-rare: 130°F

6. Finish
Top with flaky salt or lemon juice, and serve immediately.
Tips from Your Butchers at Ridgefield Prime Market
Bringing meat to room temperature helps you get a perfect sear.
Fresh rosemary + thyme bring out the natural richness of lamb.
Want even deeper flavor? Marinate chops 1–24 hours ahead.
Lamb chops cook quickly — don’t walk away from the pan!
Suggested Sides
Roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes
Grilled asparagus
Fresh cucumber & feta salad
Creamy mashed cauliflower
Substitutions
Use dried herbs (½ the amount) if you don’t have fresh.
Swap butter for ghee or olive oil for a dairy-free version.
Grill instead of pan-searing: 3–4 minutes per side on high heat.
