Lamb chump chops are a tasty and tender cut of meat from the lower back of the lamb, located above the leg and behind the loin. Cooking them in the oven is a simple and easy way to prepare them.
To make lamb chump chops in the oven, you can start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating up, you can prepare your lamb chump chops by rubbing them with a mixture of minced garlic, olive oil, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat both sides of the chops evenly with the mixture.
Next, place the lamb chump chops in a roasting pan or oven-safe dish and put them in the preheated oven. Depending on your desired level of doneness, you can cook them for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done.
Once the lamb chump chops are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
Lamb chump chops in the oven can be served as a main course, accompanied by your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. They also pair well with a variety of sauces and garnishes, such as mint sauce, chimichurri, or lemon wedges.
