By Tiffy Cooks
These Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops are ready for your next holiday meal, served with a creamy dill yogurt sauce. Seared to perfection with a fragrant rosemary garlic crust, these tender lamb chops are juicy and savory. Combined with that super fresh, cooling yogurt sauce and the pop of pomegranate seeds, every bite of lamb is a perfectly balanced bite. This dish is part of my holiday Prime Rib meal this year, and I absolutely recommend you make it for your next holiday meal!
Ingredients
Herbed Lamb Chops
- 2.5 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp rosemary
- 2 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp mustard
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 7 lamb rib chops
Dill Yogurt Sauce
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream for richer
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1½ tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 Clove garlic Small clove, grated (or ½ tsp garlic paste)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice plus zest if you like it extra bright
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 Splash olive oil or milk Optional, to thin
To Serve
- 1-2 handful mixed baby greens
- 2-3 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together oil, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mustard, and minced garlic. Mix well.
- Add in lamb chops and massage so the seasoning evenly coats the lamb chops. Set aside to marinade while making the sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, grated garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add a splash of olive oil or milk to thin out the sauce to a consistency that’s more easy to drizzle or dip.
- In a hot pan on medium-high heat, sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Serve over a bed of mixed baby greens with a dish of the creamy sauce, and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
Notes
This was part of my holiday Prime Rib spread for 4-5 people, but as a main dish, this recipe serves about 3!
