Mediterranean Lamb Chops

This is a very easy dish, and one that will impress as well! This is an elegant recipe that is very easy for even a beginner chef.

Ingredients:
6 lamb chops (1.5-2 inches thick)
2 tbsp ghee

For the rub: (I always make extra of this...you can use this on almost any meat! So if there is leftover, save it and use it on something else)

1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp of dried basil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 sulfite free garlic salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp of pink himalayan sea salt

TIP: You can find all this in the spice section of your grocery store, but if you don't feel like committing to full jars of all these spices, you can find them in the bulk section and buy in small quantities OR you can always just buy a W30 compliant mediterranean spice mix in your bulk section and not mess with the rub at all. However... it will not be as good!! :)

Take the chops out of the package and give them a quick rinse. Dry them thoroughly with a paper towel. Warm 1/2 tbsp of ghee in microwave for 10 seconds. You want the ghee to be melted, but not piping hot. Here is why... and bare with me! dip your fingers in the butter and massage each chop with it. continue until each chop is coated in butter. Then continue the "lamb massage" by pouring a little of the rub on each chop and massage the rub into the meat until each side is properly coated. Heat a large skillet to medium high. Melt the remainder of the ghee in the pan and swish it around until the pan is coated evenly. Add the chops, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes on each side depending on how well done you would like your meat/how thick they are.

Voila! Perfect chops! I know that massaging the lamb seems overkill, but there is a reason why they call the spice blend a rub!

I served it with Arugula Salad and Sweet Potatoes, but any side dish will do!
