Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (snipped)
  • 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 cup white grape juice (or apple vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3 cloves minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Marinate the lamb chops: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, snipped thyme, black pepper, sea salt, and minced garlic. Add lamb chops and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Sear the lamb chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Make the sauce: Remove lamb from the skillet and add white grape juice to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard, thyme, and minced garlic; simmer for a few minutes before adding heavy cream.
  4. Combine: Return lamb chops to the skillet, coating them in sauce; cook briefly until warmed through.
  5. Serve: Plate the lamb chops with sauce drizzled on top.
