Pan Fried Lamb Chops with Miso Butter

Step 1

Remove the leaves off the stem of the sage and put aside

Step 2

Peel the garlic and whack it with the side of your knife. You want to keep these intact but smashed. Put them aside

Step 3

Soften butter in room temperature or in a microwave for 10 seconds

Step 4

Add miso into the butter and mash it together until it is well combined

Step 5

Put the butter back in the fridge for 15 minutes solidfy, while you are cooking the lamb chops

Step 6

To fancy it up, you can also saran wrap and roll it into a log before putting it back into the fridge and when you are ready to use it remove it from the saran wrap and slice it into medallions.

Step 7

Heat up the oil on medium high heat on a cast iron pan (or high heat on a frying pan)

Step 8

Add a bit of oil and butter in the pan. When the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 2-3 mins on one side.

Step 9

Add 3 cloves of garlic per lamb chop in the pan and a few sage leaves (we added about 5 sage leaves per lamb chop)

Step 10

Flip the lamb to the other side and sear for another 2-3 mins

Step 11

Remove from heat and plate it. Add some miso butter on top while it's still hot to melt it. (Add as much as you like, this will depend on how salty you like your chops :))

Step 12

Enjoy!
