    INGREDIENTS

    800 g- 1kg lamb chops
    2 tsp ground cumin
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    2-4 thin slices of Parmalat rosemary and thyme butter

    METHOD

    USING a paper towel, pat down your lamb chops to remove any excess moisture. Season with cumin, salt and pepper.

    PREHEAT your grill pan over medium-high heat. Once smoking, place the lamb chops, fat side down and cook until golden brown and crispy, rendering off some of the fat. Once the fat side is golden brown, cook lamb chops on each side for 3-4 minutes each side.

    REMOVE from the heat and drain off any excess fat in the pan. Return lamb chops and pan back to the heat and add the butter slices. Once melted, tilt your pan slightly and using a spoon, baste/spoon the butter over the lamb chops to evenly coat.

    COOK for another 1-2 minutes.

    SERVE with a garden salad of choice.
