1 pound fresh green beans
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 a lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning

1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 loin lamb chops

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Drain and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the beans and shallots with olive oil, lemon juice, pine nuts, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Mix the 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon together. Brush each lamb chop lightly with the olive oil and season with the spice mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are a deep red color with a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. A simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper is a great option.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside moist and juicy. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and ensure that the chops are cooked evenly throughout.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little bit of preparation, you can easily create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a special occasion dish, give lamb chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
