Ingredients:
For the Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lobster Mash:
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Lamb Chops
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture generously onto the lamb chops. Season with salt and pepper.
Allow the lamb chops to marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other components.
Step 2: Cook the Lamb Chops
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. For a different level of doneness, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite.
Step 3: Prepare the Lobster Mash
Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain the water and transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes and mash them until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for the perfect texture.
Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Roast the Asparagus
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Spread the asparagus evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Step 5: Assembly
On each serving plate, create a generous bed of lobster mash.
Gently place two lamb chops on top of the lobster mash for each serving.
Arrange the roasted asparagus beside the lamb chops.
Garnish the plate with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired, for added color and flavor.
