  • 2 lbs lamb rib chops (8 count, cut from a rack of Frenched lamb ribs)

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (plus more for garnish (or use 2 tsp dried parsley))
  • 2 tsp Tabasco original red pepper sauce
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt (we used sea salt)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

Directions

    Thoroughly pat lamb chops dry with paper towels, wiping away any possible bone fragments or shards. Slice between ribs to separate chops, cutting into 3/4" or 1" thick even portions.

    Spoon out excess oil from the pan (leave in 1 to 2 Tbsp oil), being careful not to remove the drippings and flavorings.
