PAN FRIED LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS WITH MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove the leaves off the stem of the sage and put aside
• Peel the garlic and whack it with the side of your knife. You want to keep these intact but smashed. Put them aside
• Soften butter at room temperature or in a microwave for 10 seconds
• Add miso into the butter and mash it together until it is well combined
• Put the butter back in the fridge for 15 minutes solidfy, while you are cooking the lamb chops
• You can also saran wrap and roll it into a log before putting it back into the fridge and when you are ready to use it remove it from the saran wrap and slice it into medallions.
• Heat up the oil on medium high heat on a cast iron pan (or high heat on a frying pan)
• Add a bit of oil and butter in the pan. When the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 2-3 mins on one side.
• Add 3 cloves of garlic per lamb chop in the pan and a few sage leaves (we added about 5 sage leaves per lamb chop)
• Flip the lamb to the other side and sear for another 2-3 mins
• Remove from heat and plate it. Add some miso butter on top while it's still hot to melt it. (Add as much as you like, this will depend on how salty you like your chops). Enjoy!

PAN-GRILLED LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS

Steps:

• To make the marinade: whisk the lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil and season with pepper.
• Transfer the marinade to a large sealable plastic bag. Put the lamb chops in the bag, seal, and shake vigorously to evenly coat the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 12.
• Remove the chops from the marinade and transfer them to a plate. Discard the marinade. Using a spoon, lightly scrape the remaining marinade off the chops and pat them dry.
• Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Season the chops with salt. Place 2 chops on the grill pan, and cook until the chops have distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes. To make crosshatched grill marks, re-position the chops, moving them about 45 degrees on the ridged pan, and continue to cook about 3 minutes more. (The chops will have only cooked on one side at this point.) Set the chops aside and repeat with the remaining 2 chops. Return the first set of chops to the pan to cook them on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium low, and cook the chops until medium-rare, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the other chops. Let the chops rest for about 5 minutes and serve.
