Technique to learn

Pan-Deglazing

Pouring liquid into a hot pan after searing meat to dissolve caramelized pan drippings into a flavorful glaze.

Instructions

Step 1: Season lamb chops evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmeringly hot.
Step 3: Sear the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a warm plate.

Step 4: Reduce skillet heat to medium, add minced garlic and chopped dried figs, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Pour in halal beef broth, honey, and fresh thyme, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan bottom.

Step 6: Simmer sauce for 4 to 5 minutes until reduced by half and slightly syrupy.

Step 7: Stir in lemon juice, return lamb chops and pan juices to coat, and serve immediately.

Cooking tips

Do not overcrowd the skillet while searing lamb to ensure a proper deep brown crust.
