Lamb Chops with Smoky Breadcrumbs

“I prefer my chops on the rare side, but if you prefer them to be more done, just brown them a little longer before you put the breadcrumbs on.” Stephanie

Ingredients:

2 lbs of lamb loin chops, at least 1½” thick

¼ cup olive oil, plus 1 tbsp, divided

3 large cloves of garlic

1 tbsp smoked paprika

2 slices of soft sandwich bread

Small palm full of flat-leaf parsley, about 1/4 cup

Kosher salt

Directions:

(Optional) Liberally salt the chops, and let them rest for at least an hour, but preferably seal 
them in a large plastic bag and refrigerate overnight, if you have time.

Let the chops sit at room temperature for about an hour prior to cooking.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Heat a tbsp of the olive oil in a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat.

Pat the chops dry and sprinkle them chops liberally with salt (only if you skipped the 
overnight salting), then immediately place the chops in the pan, browning them lightly on 
both sides, about a minute per side.

Then transfer the chops to a roasting dish, and set aside while you prepare the crust.

In the bowl of a food processor, add the garlic cloves, parsley, remaining olive oil, paprika, 
and bread.

Pulse until the bread is reduced to crumbs, and the oil and paprika are distributed 
throughout.

Pile the seasoned breadcrumbs on top of the chops, distributing it evenly over the meat, and 
roast for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are browned and crunchy.

Allow the chops to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
