Fantastic Gluten Free Seared Lamb Chops

​Lamb chops are so flavorful and delicious!  They smell amazing while they are cooking.  Lamb has an almost sweet smell to it and is so juicy and tender.

My family loves lamb, except my Dad, he is not a fan.  My Uncle’s family used to raise lambs and we would get to see them as babies before they were shaved for wool or made into dinner.  Sorry- but that is where lamb chops come from.   One time we had a lamb roast at their house and its name was written on the package.  We were eating dinner and my Aunt said, Molly wasn’t a very good lamb and is not a very good roast either!  We all started laughing.  I imagine that is what farm life is like sometimes.

Most of my Aunts and Uncles are farmers or live in a rural area of Saskatchewan.  I grew up in town so only got to visit and experience farm life vicariously through weekend visits.  My kids, now almost both adults, still remember fond visits to their farm family’s homes.

These seared lamb chops are a fast meal for dinner or an appetizer.  They cook really quickly and are so yummy.  I pair them with my Mascarpone Honey sauce and it marries with the lamb flavor so well.

I cooked these on our BBQ but you could also use a grill pan inside your house and sear each side, then finish in the oven on a baking sheet until your desired doneness.  Medium rare is delicious!

We like to pair our lamb with a nice Zinfandel or Cabernet.  They can handle the big bold flavors.
