Savory Thoughts: Staying positive does not mean that things will turn out okay. Rather it is knowing that you will be okay no matter how things turn out. – Unknown

Why Does This Recipe Work?

• It’s a low-fat baked lamb chops recipe that’s really tasty and incredibly easy to make.
• Pan seared lamb chops that are baked to perfection in accordance with your consistency level.
• Using small chops assures the lamb is moist and juicy.
• Perfect for any occasion and any time of the year.

If I were to have a favorite meat choice, lamb would have to it. It is succulent, easy to make, high in protein, and very delicious. It pairs well with salads or rice dishes. Not to mention, great on the grill.

The Marinade 

For the marinade, I use garlic, fresh Italian parsley, fresh rosemary sprigs, salt, and pepper, EVOO, chopped onions, cayenne pepper (optional), allspice (optional), and mint leaves. 

Alter the recipe in any way that flatters you and your family.  The key is to make it your own – the choice to add cayenne pepper is optional. Feel free to add a little, a lot, or none.  The choice is yours!

How To Cook Lamb Chops?

Add all the ingredients with the exception of the butter in a food processor. Pulse to smooth but somewhat lumpy consistency. 

Coat the meat well, cover with plastic wrap, sprinkle allspice, and refrigerate overnight but best at 48 hours or more. 

The next day, pan sear the lamb chops then pour the remaining marinade mixture over the lamb chops in the skillet. Coat well with a spoon. Baked for 6 minutes. 

Cook’s Tips:

• Make sure that the lamb pieces are cut uniform size.  When the rack is cut in even size, this assure that the meat is cooked evenly. 
• Season Liberally.  Adjust the measurement in accordance to your taste.
• Don’t Crowd the Pan. Overcrowding the pan may cause the meat to not cook evenly.
• Bake To Perfection.  Bake the meat in accordance to your level of consistency. Cook the lamb until reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit
