METHOD
Prepare the lamb
Take the lamb out of the fridge 15 to 20 minutes before cooking. Season it with salt, black pepper, crushed garlic, and rosemary. This helps the meat cook more evenly and absorb the flavor naturally.Cook the lamb
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Place the lamb chops in the pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until nicely browned on the outside and tender inside.
Keep the oil controlled, the lamb already has natural richness, so it does not need much added fat.Let it rest
Remove the lamb from the pan and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes. This keeps the meat juicy and allows the texture to stay tender.Prepare the salad
In a bowl, combine the green lettuce, radishes, green onion, and fresh dill. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and a little salt. Toss gently so the salad stays crisp and fresh.Plate and serve
Arrange the lamb chops on a plate and serve with the spring green salad on the side. Finish with extra black pepper or a few rosemary leaves if desired.Finish with balance
Serve immediately while the lamb is warm and the salad is fresh and vibrant. The simplicity of the plate is what makes it feel elegant.
