Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 6 minced garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper to form the herb crust.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 8 lamb chops (about 1.5 lbs), then rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of each chop. Place chops on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until medium-rare to medium, turning halfway through.
  3. Step 3: While lamb cooks, char 4 whole garlic cloves directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened and softened, about 5 minutes, turning frequently.
  4. Step 4: Mash the charred garlic cloves with 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice into a coarse sauce; season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Step 5: Remove lamb chops from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with charred garlic sauce spooned over the top.
