Ingredients
8 lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pinch dried thyme
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves
3 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. minced parsley
1 pinch crushed red pepper
Preparation
Step 1Season the lamb with salt and pepper and sprinkle lightly with thyme. In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until the chops are browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the chops and garlic and cook until the chops are browned, about 2 minutes longer for medium meat. Transfer the chops to plates, leaving the garlic in the skillet.Step 2Add the water, lemon juice, parsley and crushed red pepper to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom, until sizzling, about 1 minute. Pour the garlic and pan sauce over the lamb chops and serve immediately.
