Cooking them in a bit of butter gives these a crispy herbed crust that pairs perfectly with fresh mint pesto.
Ingredients

- 6 whole Lamb Chops
- Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Dried Rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoons Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- FOR THE PESTO:
- ¾ cups Packed Fresh Mint Leaves
- ¼ cups Flat Leaf Parsley
- 2 whole Green Onions, Cut In Fourths
- 2 cloves Garlic
- ½ Tablespoons Lemon Zest
- 1-½ teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Parmesan, Grated

Preparation
Preheat oven to 450ºF.
Season room temperature lamb chops liberally on both sides with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a hot oven proof skillet (preferably cast iron) and add lamb chops. Cook 3-4 minutes, until a crust develops. Flip lamb chops over and insert a meat thermometer. Place in oven for about 8-10 minutes until thermometer reads 125ºF (for medium rare).
Combine pesto ingredients in a food processor and let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving with the chops.
