Pan-fried Provençal lamb
The charm of this classic dish is the little herb crust with slow-cooked garlic. This dish is usually made with lamb chops or a sliced lamb leg. We think it's better with lamb shoulder chops, a cheap but less tender cut that demands lower, slower cooking but leads to a tastier crust.
Ingredients
- 4 lamb shoulder chops
