Fried Garlic Parmesan Lamb (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
02 -
1 egg, whisked
03 -
2 pounds lamb chops (loin or rib)
04 -
Salt, as you like
05 -
1 cup Parmesan, shredded
06 -
1 cup regular or panko breadcrumbs
07 -
1 cup plain flour
08 -
2-3 tablespoons parsley, chopped small (optional for topping)
09 -
Vegetable or olive oil for frying
10 -
Lemon slices for serving (optional)
11 -
Freshly ground black pepper, as desired
# Instructions:
01 -
Lay lamb chops on paper towels, pat them dry, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
02 -
Grab three shallow dishes: pour flour in the first one, put the whisked egg in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, garlic, and Parmesan together in the third.
03 -
Start with flour and shake off extra. Dip into egg, letting any drips fall away, then press into the breadcrumb mix until covered evenly.
04 -
In a large pan, heat enough oil over medium-high heat so it’s shimmering but not smoking.
05 -
Working in small batches, fry the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side. Don’t put too many in the pan at once or they won’t brown properly.
06 -
Move cooked chops onto paper towels to soak up oil. Sprinkle parsley on top if you’d like, and serve warm with lemon on the side.
