Good to know

Lamb naturally comes with plenty of fat. Combined with melting herb butter, this dish becomes a keto feast.

Swaps

Lamb chops → rump steak (if lamb tastes too strong for you – the butter goes with almost anything).

Cooking tips

Don't fry the chops for too long – they should still be pink in the middle. Three minutes per side is often enough.

Storage

Make a stock of herb butter and keep it in the freezer. The meat, however, should always be cooked fresh.
