Lamb Loin Chops
These pan seared Lamb Loin Chops are one of the easiest way to enjoy lamb. It takes less than 15 minutes to get them on to the dinner table.
There are two different types of lamb loin chops. These rib chops are call “frenched” because of the way they were butchered. Part of the rib is left attached to the loin.
This makes for an elegant presentation so it is great for entertaining.
What you need
- lamb chops
- flour – use gluten free if needed

How to make them
- Cut lamb chops apart if taking from a whole loin rack.

Pro tips for your success
- Use a very sharp knife to separate chops.
- Sear over high heat so the lamb does not get over cooked.
- Depending on the size of the chops, the lamb should only take about 10 minutes to sear.
- If they are getting too browned the heat can be turned down until they make the target temperature. Or pop them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or so.
- Don’t over-cook.
