Fail Proof Pan Seared Lamb Chops The Curry Mommy

This is an easy and family-friendly pan-seared lamb chops recipe made with an everyday seasoning such as Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning mix. The Mediterranean lamb chop tasting dish pairs well with a yogurt sauce, masala rice, and salad. Perfect to make for a crowd or date night! These family-friendly lamb chops are packed with flavor without the spice and taste great.

Ingredients

lamb chops, cleaned and trimmed Trader Joes 21 seasoning salute or an everyday seasoningwaterfresh garlic salt oilred chili flakes (optional)

How to wash lamb chops

Mix 1 lemon’s juice with 2 cups of water in a large bowl. Place the lamb chops in that bowl and soak/wash them for about 5 minutes using your hands to toss the lamb chops. Next, drain all of the water out but keep the lamb chops in the bowl. Let them sit for about 5 minutes as is. (While that sits in the bowl, you can make the marinade.) Now, wash the lamb chops thoroughly with water and dry completely with paper towels. They are officially ready to be mixed in with the seasoning.

Cooking Instructions

Make the marinade using the 21 seasoning salute (or everyday seasoning), water, garlic, and red chili flakes (optional) I recommend using water instead of oil for this recipe to make a paste. Mix in the clean lamb chops and coat them evenly. The marinade is potent so less quantity is key unless you prefer more flavor of course. Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes, but 3 hours is ideal with my experience. Heat a nonstick or cast iron pan with some oil and cook the lamb chops for about 3 minutes per side or until cooked to your preference. Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon TIP: Cook on medium-high heat to get a beautiful crisp char on the outside.
