Lollipop Lamb Chops Recipe

Lollipop lamb chops, also called French-trimmed lamb chops, are a tender and flavorful cut perfect for elegant dinners or parties. Marinated with garlic, herbs, and olive oil, these chops are quickly seared for a crisp crust while staying juicy inside.

Ingredients

• 8 lamb lollipop chops (French-trimmed)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Juice of ½ lemon

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
2. Coat the lamb chops with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness.
5. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
