• 2 tbsp fresh parsley - minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary - minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil - for cooking

For the Mint Chutney (optional)

• 1 bunch fresh cilantro

• 1 tsp salt
• 1 white onion - peeled and roughly chopped
• 1/2 lemon - juiced
• 2 tbsp water - plus more as needed
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin - (optional)

Instructions

For the Lamb Chops

1. Season. Generously season both sides of your lamb chops with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the garlic herb marinade. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil with the freshly minced garlic and fresh herbs. Use a pastry brush to brush both sides of the lamb chops. Discard any remaining marinade and allow chops to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (see notes).
3. Cook. When ready to cook heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. When the olive oil just starts to smoke, start adding the lamb chops to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the butter to the skillet, flip each lamb chop, and continue to cook until they register 125°F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium using a digital meat thermometer, approximately 4-5 minutes more.
