Instructions
- Step 1: Pat dry 8 lamb loin chops and season evenly on both sides with 2 tsp bush spice blend, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding 1 sprig fresh rosemary to the pan while cooking.
- Step 3: Remove lamb chops from the skillet and cover with foil to rest.
- Step 4: Reduce heat to medium and pour 1/2 cup red wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in 3 tbsp Davidson's plum jam and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 5: Whisk in 1 tbsp butter to give the sauce a glossy finish.
- Step 6: Serve the lamb chops drizzled with the Davidson's plum reduction alongside roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
