Roasted Lamb Chops Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fava Bean Purée

   In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add fava beans and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add mint leaves, lemon juice, salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

2. 2

   Marinate the Lamb Chops

   In a bowl, mix remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Lamb Chops

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.

4. 4

   Prepare the Barolo Jus

   In the same skillet, after removing the lamb chops, add Barolo wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, cooking over medium heat until reduced by half. Strain the sauce and season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Serve

   Place a generous scoop of fava bean purée on each plate. Top with roasted lamb chops and drizzle with Barolo jus. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
