Lamb Chops

01Method

1. 1

   Trim any excess fat from the chops and rub both sides generously with the lemon halves.

2. 2

   Combine the minced garlic, ground pepper, chopped herbs, and mustard into a paste, then coat the chops thoroughly. Allow to rest for at least thirty minutes, or overnight if time permits.

3. 3

   Heat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius.

4. 4

   Transfer the prepared chops to a lightly oiled baking dish. Sear at high heat for approximately four minutes, then lower the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius and continue roasting for about fifteen minutes. Should the meat appear to be drying out during the second stage, cover loosely with foil to retain moisture.
