lamb chops recipe

Recipe Serves 6

AUSTRALIAN LAMB

• 18 Australian lamb loin chops

CHEESE MIXTURE

• ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
• ¾ cup black olives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 9 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. To make cheese mixture, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic, black olives, thyme and 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture evenly on one side of each chop.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick sauté pan. Place the chops in the pan, with the cheese mixture side up. Brown the chops, then flip and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spatula, flip the chops again onto a baking tray and place in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 140°F.
