Garlic Parmesan Fried Lamb Chops

Ingredients

• 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the coating:
   • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
   • Mix well.
2. Coat the lamb chops:
   • Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels.
   • Rub the minced garlic onto both sides of each chop.
   • Dredge each chop in the Parmesan-flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
3. Cook the lamb chops:
   • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Once hot, add the coated lamb chops.
   • Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the outside is golden brown and the chops are cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
4. Rest and serve:
   • Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
   • Serve hot with your favorite sides.
