FOR GRILLED (BROILED) LAMB CHOP: Cut the butter into small pieces. Place the lamb on a grill pan (broiler pan), season with salt and freshly ground pepper and place a little butter on each. Grill (broil) on high heat for about 4-5 minutes then turn the cutlets over and place a little butter and seasoning on the reverse side. Continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes until cooked to your liking. If you like your lamb pink in the middle (as I do) you can adjust these times down a little.
FOR FRIED LAMB CHOP: Melt the butter in a large frying pan (skillet). Season the lamb with salt and freshly ground pepper and cook on high heat for about 1 minute then turn the cutlets over and cook the reverse side for 1 minute before reducing the heat. (Cooking on high heat seals the flavour into the meat). Continue to cook at medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. If you like your lamb pink in the middle (as I do) you can adjust these times down a little.
