Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 4 (4 ounce) lamb chops
• 0.5 tablespoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
• 0.25 cup mint jelly

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.

Step 3

Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast-iron skillet.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side.
