It&#8217;s not the best picture since I was in a hurry to eat the chops that smelled sooo good, but it reminds me of how delicious those lamb chops were. We wanted a special and indulgent New Year&#8217;s Eve dinner and these delicious rosemary thyme lamp chops definitely met the bill. <\/p>\n<p>We made 9 chops which is probably more like 4 servings but the joys of only having 2 people means we can eat it all! And a huge pile of mashed potatoes and broccoli. <\/p>\n<p>I was a bit daunted by the seemingly large quantity of herbs used in this recipe, but it turned out really fragrant and doesn&#8217;t perfectly complements the juicy lamb. I also sauteed a bit of garlic with the lamb, which fried to a golden crisp just when the lamb finished. <\/p>\n<p>[recipe]Makes 8 lamb chops &bull; Adopted from Giada De Laurentiis&#8217; recipe<\/p>\n<p>[ingredients]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 large garlic cloves, crushed<\/li>\n<li>1.5 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of coarse sea salt<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>8 lamb chops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[directions]<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mix 3 cloves of garlic, all the rosemary, thyme, salt and olive oil together and blend until it becomes a paste<\/li>\n<li>Cover the lamb chops all over with the herb paste and let marinate in the refrigerator for an hour<\/li>\n<li>Remove the lamb chops from the frig and let it come to room temperature (about 20 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>Heat a skillet until very hot and spray a bit of olive oil, add 2 cloves of garlic and lamb chops to the hot pan.
