Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the lamb chops to the skillet and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to be coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness; 130-135°F for medium-rare.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing.
- Let lamb chops rest for a few minutes after cooking for more tender meat.
- Substitute heavy cream with coconut or cashew cream for a dairy-free version.
