4️⃣ Cook the Lamb Chops:
• Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until they reach your preferred doneness (125°F for medium-rare).
• Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
• Plate the lamb chops over the creamy cauliflower mash, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
