Notes
- Lamb loin chops or lamb shoulder chops.
- Seasoning: You can use our Homemade Lamb Seasoning, about 3 teaspoons or more if needed. Otherwise, you can use your favorite lamb seasoning or generously season the lamb chops with a mix of 1 teaspoon salt (sea or Kosher salt), ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon dried mint (if you have it).
- Gravy: Strain the cooking liquid into a small pan. Add some chicken stock if you want more sauce (about ¼ - ½ cup/ 60 - 125 ml). Place it on the stovetop and bring it to a boil. Mix 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl; you should have a thick yet pourable paste. Whisk the paste (you might not need it all – it depends on how much liquid you have) into the sauce and let it bubble shortly while whisking continuously. The sauce should be slightly thicker but not too thick.
