A very simple dish, almost too simple to even write a recipe. Goes well with vegetables and pan-fried potatoes.

Ingredients

• 1 stick / 100g butter at room temperature
• handful of basil leaves, coarsely chopped
• ½ tsp salt or to taste
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 8 lamb chops
• 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
• freshly ground pepper and salt to taste

Preparation

1. Combine butter, chopped basil leaves, lemon juice and salt. Mix well.
2. Wrap butter in plastic foil and roll into a ~1in / ~3cm cylinder. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerate for a few hours, then cut into slices.
3. Set heavy pan over high heat. Add vegetable oil. Cook lamb chops 2-3 minutes per side or until done.
4. Serve with the basil butter.

Preparation time 15min (plus time to refrigerate butter)

Yields 4 servings, 2 lamb chops per serving
