PAN-SEARED LAMB CHOPS WITH MUSTARD-THYME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, blacked cracked pepper, sea salt, minced garlic in a medium bowl. Mix.
• Arrange lamb chops on a large plate. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops. Make sure the lamb chops are covered with the marinade from all sides.
• Let the lamb chops sit at room temperature in this marinade for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet until hot. Add lamb chops.
• Cook on medium-high heat about 4 minutes on one side. Then 4 minutes on medium heat on another side.
• Remove the lamb chops from the skillet.
• Add wine to the same skillet and bring to boil.
• Add mustard, fresh thyme, and minced garlic.
• Bring to boil and reduce the sauce, until it thickens. It should take a couple of minutes.
• Add back the pan-seared lamb chops.
• Simmer on low-medium heat to heat them through.
• Season the sauce with salt and cracked black pepper, if needed.
• Note: Make sure the lamb chops are cooked to medium. If not, cook them in the sauce, covered with the lid, for a couple of minutes. Then, remove from heat, and allow the lamb chops rest, covered until they are cooked through.
• To serve, spoon the sauce over lamb chops and sprinkle more fresh thyme on top.
