Step-by-Step Instructions for Pomegranate Lamb Chops
- Start by patting the organic lamb rib chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them generously on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a hot cast iron skillet, add extra virgin olive oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned lamb chops in the skillet and sear them for about 2-4 minutes on each side.
- Once both sides of the lamb chops are beautifully browned, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the crushed garlic and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet, stirring gently. Pour in the pomegranate juice, coating the lamb chops.
- Let the pomegranate lamb chops bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, using a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- While the lamb chops are baking, in a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter until foamy. Add a splash of pomegranate juice and let it simmer gently. Mix cornstarch with warm water, then whisk it into the simmering liquid until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the lamb chops are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chops before serving.

Notes
Allow lamb chops to rest before serving for juiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
