Fresh herbs play off the rich flavor of lamb in this herb-crusted recipe. Best served with simple side dishes like Cauliflower Mash and steamed vegetables, this classic preparation is the perfect way to impress your guests with minimal effort. Do not substitute dried herbs for fresh in this recipe, as the bright flavor of the fresh herbs is what makes this simple dish so delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lamb chops

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, chopped

  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs, chopped

  • 3 tbsp almond flour

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Coat the lamb chops with the mustard. Set aside.
  • To a blender or food processor, add the rosemary, thyme, almond flour, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped. Slowly add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to form a thick paste.
  • Press the herb paste firmly around the edges of the mustard-coated chops, creating a crust.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the chops to the skillet on their sides to brown. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 to 3 minutes so the crust adheres properly to the meat. Turn and cook on the opposite edge for 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a baking sheet.
  • Place the sheet in the preheated oven. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, for medium.
  • Remove the sheet from the oven. Serve immediately.
