Ingredients
  

For the Lamb Chops

  • 2 tbsp olive oil For marinating.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed Best for creamy texture.
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Warm for best results when mixing.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Asparagus
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the lamb chops and marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large pot, add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and mash until smooth but slightly lumpy.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
  2. In another skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic and asparagus, seasoning with salt and pepper, for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. In the same skillet used for lamb, melt butter, add beef broth, Dijon mustard, and rosemary, stirring to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Plate the creamy mashed potatoes, top with the lamb chops, and arrange the asparagus on the side. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
