Lamb Chops Sizzled with Garlic

Step 1

Season the lamb with salt and pepper and sprinkle lightly with thyme.

Step 2

In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until the chops are browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Turn the chops and garlic and cook until the chops are browned, about 2 minutes longer for medium meat. Transfer the chops to plates, leaving the garlic in the skillet.

Step 4

Add the water, lemon juice, parsley and crushed red pepper to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom, until sizzling, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour the garlic and pan sauce over the lamb chops and serve immediately.
