Ingredients:

- 4 lamb chops, bone-in

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup red wine (optional)

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 cup chicken or beef broth

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

- Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Lamb Chops

Begin by patting the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season the chops on both sides with salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Allow the lamb chops to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 2: Sear the Lamb Chops

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the lamb chops and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook for 3 minutes per side; for medium, cook for 4 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3: Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, sprinkle the minced garlic over the residual lamb juices. Let it cook for about 1 minute, then sprinkle the flour over the garlic. Stir the mixture to create a roux, and cook for another 2 minutes, constantly stirring to prevent burning.

Step 4: Add the Broth and Wine

Pour in the chicken or beef broth and red wine (if using) into the skillet. Stir to dissolve the flour, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 5: Finish the Sauce

Stir in the lemon juice, and taste the sauce for seasoning. If needed, add more salt and pepper to taste. Once the sauce is to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Cut the butter into pieces and stir it into the sauce until it's melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Step 6: Serve the Nourishing Lamb Chops

Return the lamb chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let the chops sit for a few minutes to allow the sauce to absorb into the meat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Enjoy your nourishing lamb chops with a side of roasted vegetables or a creamy mashed potato for a complete and satisfying meal. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy dinner with loved ones. Happy cooking!
