Herb and Mushroom Lamb Chops
Pan-seared lamb chops are rubbed with warm spices and fresh herbs, then nestled into a rich mushroom, shallot, and red wine pan sauce. The rosemary and thyme brighten the earthy mushrooms while a squeeze of lemon lifts the savory juices. Herb and Mushroom Lamb Chops make an elegant dinner for a special night or a refined weekend meal.
