Garlic Parmesan Fried Lamb Chops
Crispy and flavorful garlic parmesan fried lamb chops that are easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces lamb chops
- 0.25 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon pecorino romano cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a large pie plate or flat bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, lemon zest, black pepper, sea salt, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Rinse the lamb chops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Coat both sides of each lamb chop in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add 2-3 lamb chops to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the crust is lightly browned.
- Remove the cooked chops from the pan and set them aside. Add more olive oil if needed, and repeat the cooking process with the remaining lamb chops.
- Serve the crispy lamb chops hot, ideally over a bed of prepared couscous or your favorite side dish.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the lamb chops in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for a few hours before breading. You can substitute the pecorino romano cheese with parmesan if preferred.
