Ingredients

6 chops Lamb Chops
225 g Mushrooms
150 g Spinach
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Sage
45 g Salted Butter
1 tbsp Olive Oil
60 ml Heavy Cream
1 wedge Lemon
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1
Pat the lamb chops very dry with paper towels. Season liberally on both sides with salt, black pepper, and half of the dried sage.
2
Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a golden crust forms.
4
Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons of salted butter, the remaining dried sage, and half the minced garlic to the pan. Baste the lamb chops with the foaming butter for 1 minute. Remove the chops to a plate and let them rest.
5
In the same pan (do not wipe out the fond), add the remaining 1 tablespoon of salted butter and the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned.
6
Add the remaining garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted.
7
Pour in the heavy cream and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
8
Squeeze the lemon wedge over the sauce to cut the richness. Return the lamb chops and their resting juices to the pan briefly to warm through.
9
Serve immediately with the creamy vegetables.

Chef's Tips

•Let the lamb come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
•Don't crowd the pan when searing; do it in batches if necessary to ensure a good crust.
•If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth.
