Instructions
- Remove the lamb from the fridge and bring to room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. Rub both sides of each piece with the Gourmet Garden Roast Seasoning.

- Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chops for 2-3 minutes each side.
- Place on a plate and cover to keep warm. Serve with Colcannon and Honeyed sesame carrots.
Notes
Tip
Lamb tastes best when it is still a little pink in the centre. Try not to overcook it or it will become dry.
Tip
Bringing the lamb to room temperature is important for the cooking time and will give you a better result when cooking meat. About 20 minutes is enough time out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
Variation
If you have fresh herbs in your garden you can make a lovely herb seasoning for these chops, but using a ready-made seasoning is a great shortcut when you are in a hurry.
Variation
This recipe includes two cuts of lamb as cutlets are quite pricy and lamb loin chops are just as tasty and kept moist with that layer of fat around the eye.
