Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 lamb rib chops with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses with 1 tbsp rose water, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear lamb chops for 3 minutes per side until browned and medium rare.
  3. Step 3: During the last minute of cooking, brush the lamb chops generously with the pomegranate-rose glaze and cook for 1 more minute, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with any remaining glaze drizzled on top.
