For best results, use fresh rosemary leaves. Dried rosemary can be substituted, but use half the amount. A cast iron skillet is recommended for its even heat distribution and ability to create a beautiful sear. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use an oven-safe skillet or baking sheet. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the lamb chops and your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135 degrees F (54-57 degrees C). Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the lamb chops after resting for an extra burst of flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepTrim any excess fat from the lamb chops, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Lightly coat each chop with olive oil. Season generously with minced garlic, crushed rosemary, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Place the lamb chops in a cast iron skillet. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop; it should register at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (10 minutes)
04
StepRemove the skillet from the oven and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the lamb chops to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. Serve immediately with mint jelly on the side. (10 minutes)
