Ingredients:
For the Lamb Chops:
- 8 lamb chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lobster Mash:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Asparagus:
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Lamb Chops
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture generously onto the lamb chops. Season with salt and pepper.
- Allow the lamb chops to marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other components.
Step 2: Cook the Lamb Chops
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. For a different level of doneness, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite.
Step 3: Prepare the Lobster Mash
- Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain the water and transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes and mash them until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for the perfect texture.
- Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Roast the Asparagus
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the asparagus evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Step 5: Assembly
- On each serving plate, create a generous bed of lobster mash.
- Gently place two lamb chops on top of the lobster mash for each serving.
- Arrange the roasted asparagus beside the lamb chops.
- Garnish the plate with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired, for added color and flavor.
Notes
Cooking Note:
- For a seafood variation, you can easily substitute the lobster meat with shrimp or crab meat.
- Adjust the cooking time of the lamb chops based on their thickness and your preferred doneness. A meat thermometer can be helpful to reach the perfect internal temperature for lamb (145°F for medium-rare).
- If you prefer creamier mashed potatoes, feel free to add an extra splash of heavy cream.
