What’s better than a funky, gamey bite of lamb? I don’t often cook the meat because it can get expensive, but I do have a soft spot for little lamb chops, even if I need two for a full meal. To amp up the flavor, I sprinkled a rub made with loads of garam masala and cayenne.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 small lamb chops
Directions
- Stir together garam masala, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Rub lamb chops with 1 tablespoon canola oil. Sprinkle chops on both sides with the spice mixture, and then use your hands to rub the mixture in.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until just starting to smoke. Add as many of the lamb chops as will fit in one layer. Cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Repeat process with any remaining chops.
- Divide chops between four plates. Serve immediately.
