Ingredients:
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
– 1/4 cup red wine
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the dried thyme, rosemary, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
3. Brush both sides of the lamb chops with olive oil, then rub the herb mixture onto the meat, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. Heat a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the lamb chops and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
5. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and transfer them to a baking dish.
6. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, and oregano to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the herbs are fragrant.
7. Pour the red wine into the skillet and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Pour the herb mixture over the lamb chops in the baking dish.
9. Bake the lamb chops in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 145°F for medium-rare.
10. Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
