Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 8 lamb rib chops with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to medium-rare. Remove chops and set aside to rest.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp honey and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the pan.
  5. Step 5: Return the lamb chops to the skillet, turning to coat them evenly in the rosemary honey glaze.
  6. Step 6: Plate the chops and sprinkle 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds over the top for a burst of color and tartness. Serve warm.
