How to Make Honey Garlic and Herb Glazed Lamb Chops

Season the lamb

Add the lamb chops or cutlets to a bowl then season with salt, black pepper, onion powder and paprika.

Refrigerate the lamb

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The longer the better.

Heat a pan with butter

Remove the lamb from the fridge and leave to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add the butter to a non stick frying pan or skillet and place on a medium to high heat.

Cook the lamb

Once heated, add the lamb chops to the pan. Sear for 2 – 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or 4 – 5 minutes for well done. If your chops are really thick then they may need an additional few minutes per side. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside on a plate then reduce the heat to low.

Make the sauce

To a small bowl, add all the glaze ingredients and mix well. Pour into the pan and allow to simmer on a low heat for 2 - 3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened. Return the lamb to the pan and spoon the glaze over them to coat. Turn off the heat and allow to stand for 2 minutes then serve.

Storage

Store any leftover lamb in the fridge for up to 3 days.
