Lamb Chops with Miso Butter

• 4 lamb chops
• 12 cloves garlic (3 whole cloves per lamb chop)
• 2-3 sprigs sage
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Miso Butter

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons miso

Instructions

Preparation

1. Remove the leaves off the stem of the sage and put aside
2. Peel the garlic and whack it with the side of your knife. You want to keep these intact but smashed. Put them aside

Making the Miso Butter

1. Soften butter at room temperature or in a microwave for 10 seconds
2. Add miso into the butter and mash it together until it is well combined
3. Put the butter back in the fridge for 15 minutes solidfy, while you are cooking the lamb chops
4. You can also saran wrap and roll it into a log before putting it back into the fridge and when you are ready to use it remove it from the saran wrap and slice it into medallions.

Pan Frying the Lamb Chops

1. Heat up the oil on medium high heat on a cast iron pan (or high heat on a frying pan)
2. Add a bit of oil and butter in the pan. When the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 2-3 mins on one side.
3. Add 3 cloves of garlic per lamb chop in the pan and a few sage leaves (we added about 5 sage leaves per lamb chop)
4. Flip the lamb to the other side and sear for another 2-3 mins
5. Remove from heat and plate it. Add some miso butter on top while it’s still hot to melt it. (Add as much as you like, this will depend on how salty you like your chops).
