Ingredients

8 lamb rib chops
2 cloves garlic crushed
salt
freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 lemon wedges

Directions

1

A half-hour before cooking, trim all but a small ribbon of fat from the chops, blot with a paper towel, rub both sides with the garlic and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
2

Heat the oil in a heavy nonstick skillet. Brown chops on both sides, about 1 minute on each. Lower the heat to medium and cook 4 minutes longer for medium-rare (deduct 2 minutes for rare, add 2 minutes for well).
3

Squeeze lemon over each just before serving.

This method works well for chops up to 1 inch thick. If thicker, stir in a little wine, water or broth after searing and cook to desired degree of doneness.
