This is simplicity itself – just pop the chops into the oven to bake, and the sauce is easily made. I like to serve this at home with tiny steamed new potatoes tossed in a teaspoonful of lamb fat and some freshly snipped chives, with some young fresh shelled peas or broad beans.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 30-45 minutes
    •    Cook time: 25 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    8 lamb loin chops
    •    1 small onion, peeled and chopped
    •    salt and freshly milled black pepper

For the sauce:

    •    1 large onion, peeled and chopped small
    •    1 rounded tbsp rosemary leaves
    •    1 oz 25g butter
    •    1 oz 25g plain flour
    •    6 fl oz (175ml) milk
    •    6 fl oz (175ml) vegetable stock
    •    2 tbsps cream, whipped or double
    •    salt and freshly milled black pepper

To garnish:

    •    sprigs of watercress

Method

1. First of all, place the lamb chops in a shallow roasting tin with the onion tucked around them.
   
   
2. Season with salt and pepper then place them on the highest shelf of the oven to bake. How long you cook them for is up to you – I personally don't mind the centres being cooked since I like the skins crisp, but if you like your lamb pink give them 30 minutes, if not, 45 minutes.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and sweat the onions over a very gentle heat for 5 minutes. While that's happening, bruise the rosemary leaves with a pestle and mortar to release their oil, then chop them very, very finely and add them to the onion. Then continue to cook gently, uncovered, for a further 15 minutes without letting the onions colour too much.
   
   
4. Next, using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour till smooth, then gradually add the milk followed by the stock, bit by bit, stirring vigorously and finishing off with a balloon whisk.
   
   
5. Season with salt and pepper and let the sauce barely simmer for 2 minutes, then remove it from the heat, liquidise half of it and then combine that with the rest, along with the cream. Taste to check the seasoning, then pour it into a warmed serving bowl or jug and cover the surface with clingfilm until the chops are ready.
   
   
6. Serve the chops with a garnish of watercress and the sauce poured over.

* ADDITIONAL: Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).

Lamb seasoned with fresh rosemary and oregano and seared in a cognac butter sauce in a cast iron skillet.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 10 minutes
    •    Cook time: 10 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 2-4

Ingredients

    •    4 lamb loin chops
    •    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    •    2 garlic cloves, minced
    •    2 tsps fresh oregano, finely chopped
    •    2 tsps fresh rosemary, chopped
    •    2-3 tbsps butter
    •    1/4 cup cognac or brandy
    •    salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Remove loin chops from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on high until hot. Place the loin chops in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. It’s important not to touch or adjust the lamb so the sides can sear up in the skillet. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the butter, cognac, garlic, and fresh herbs to the skillet and swirl/stir until fully melted. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, occasionally turning the loin chops in order to soak up cognac butter sauce. For medium rare, the lamb is done. Sear for an additional minute for each level of doneness; about 3-4 minutes for medium/medium well.
4. Remove from heat, place on plate and drizzle with Cognac butter sauce. Garnish with butter and fresh herbs if desired and serve.
