Recipe Notes:
- Overcooking the lamb chops will just make them tough so make sure not to overdo.
- I didn’t remove the extra layer of fat but if you don’t like them fatty then trim the excess fat from the edges of the chops.
- Cooking time may vary depending upon the type of chop you are using.
- Pat the chops dry with paper towel before seasoning them.
Complementary Tip!
You can also make a bone broth / stock using the leftover bones of these chops. Just add the bones, salt and water in a pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour on low heat. Once cool, strain it and then use it in the dishes instead of water for more flavour.
