Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow dish, generously smear both sides of the lamb chops with roasted garlic. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season with dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the chops with 1.5 cups of olive oil, ensuring they are fully submerged. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld deeply. (8 hours)

05

Step

Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and scrape off the solidified olive oil. Return the chops to the dish. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour red wine over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Refrigerate for an additional 4 hours, allowing the red wine to further tenderize and infuse the meat. (4 hours)

08

Step

In a large, heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Sauté the chopped onion until tender and translucent. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Carefully place the lamb chops into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (2 minutes)

11

Step

Cover the skillet and cook the lamb chops for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. (20 minutes)

For an even more intense garlic flavor, consider using garlic-infused olive oil in the marinade.
Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your lamb chops and your preferred level of doneness. A meat thermometer is your best friend!
Allow the lamb chops to rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
