Technique to learn

Pan-Searing

High-heat cooking technique that browns the surface quickly to seal in meat moisture.

Instructions

Step 1: Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp crust during searing.
Step 2: Combine ground wattleseed, garlic powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl to form a rub.
Step 3: Coat all sides of the lamb chops evenly with the wattleseed mixture.

Step 4: Heat remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 5: Sear lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep brown and cooked to medium-rare, then rest on a plate for 5 minutes.

Step 6: While meat rests, boil green peas for 2 minutes, drain, and blend with mint leaves and butter until smooth before serving under the chops.

Cooking tips

Allow meat to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even heat distribution.
Do not over-boil the peas to keep their bright green color and fresh minty flavor vibrant.
