Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces lamb chops (bone-in for extra flavor)
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Don’t skimp on this—garlic loves to party!
Additional flavor
  • handful sprigs fresh rosemary
  • to taste Optional: lemon wedges for serving For added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels to ensure they sear nicely. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until warm enough to sizzle.
  2. Place the lamb chops in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Check for an internal temperature of about 145°F for medium-rare.
  3. Once seared, push the chops to the side of the skillet and add rosemary, garlic, and halved grapes. Cook for an additional minute or two to soften the grapes.
  4. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and spoon the warm grape and rosemary mixture over them. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top if desired.

Notes

For leftover lamb, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This dish pairs well with fresh salad, mashed potatoes, or quinoa.
