lamb loin chops on a plate topped with feta sauce; potatoes on the side, fresh herbs

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 8 American Lamb loin chops (about 4 oz each)
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Combine sour cream, 1/4 cup olive oil, and feta cheese in a blender.

Blend until smooth.

Prep chops by drying them with a paper towel, and then seasoning generously with salt and pepper on each side.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron skillet, over medium to medium-high heat.

Fry lamb chops in hot oil for 4 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and seared.

Flip the chops over and place 1 tab of butter on each chop.  Add minced garlic and thyme to the hot oil.  Stir the garlic quickly so it doesn’t burn. Continue to cook chop for 4 minutes until seared and golden brown.

Top the chops with feta cream sauce.
