Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp ground wattleseed, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
- Step 2: Rub this marinade evenly over 8 lamb chops, covering both sides thoroughly. Let the chops marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Step 3: Arrange the lamb chops on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Step 4: Remove from oven and rest the lamb chops for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
