- How to sear lamb chops:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet until hot. Add lamb chops.
- Cook on medium-high heat about 4 minutes on one side. Then 4 minutes on medium heat on another side.
- Remove the lamb chops from the skillet.
- How to make the sauce for lamb:

- Bring to boil and reduce the sauce, until it thickens. It should take a couple of minutes.
- Add back the pan-seared lamb chops.

- Note: Make sure the lamb chops are cooked to medium. If not, cook them in the sauce, covered with the lid, for a couple of minutes. Then, remove from heat, and allow the lamb chops rest, covered until they are cooked through.
- To serve, spoon the sauce over lamb chops and sprinkle more fresh thyme on top.
