Ingredients:
For the lamb chops:
- 8 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for basting)
For the mashed potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the asparagus:
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the lobster topping (optional):
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1️⃣ Season the lamb chops with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and let them marinate for 15 minutes.
2️⃣ Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12-15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
3️⃣ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Add butter and baste the lamb chops for extra flavor. Set aside to rest.
4️⃣ For the asparagus, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then steam or roast for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
5️⃣ If using lobster, melt butter in a small pan, add diced lobster, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with parsley.
6️⃣ Plate the lamb chops over mashed potatoes, add the asparagus on the side, and top with optional lobster meat. Garnish with more fresh parsley.
