Yield: 3
Ingredients: 1 pound lamb chops; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, chopped; 4 fresh thyme sprigs, chopped; 3 tablespoons almond flour; 4 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon onion powder; ¼ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions Preparing:15 minCooking:15 min

Step 1Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2Coat the lamb chops with the mustard. Set aside.

Step 3To a blender or food processor, add the rosemary, thyme, almond flour, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped. Slowly add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to form a thick paste.

Step 4Press the herb paste firmly around the edges of the mustard-coated chops, creating a crust.

Step 5In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the chops to the skillet on their sides to brown. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 to 3 minutes so the crust adheres properly to the meat. Turn and cook on the opposite edge for 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a baking sheet.

Step 6Place the sheet in the preheated oven. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, for medium.

Step 7Remove the sheet from the oven. Serve immediately.
