🎄 Christmas Lamb Chops with Nostrana Extra Virgin Olive Oil 🎄

Bring a touch of Italian elegance to your holiday table with tender, juicy lamb chops finished with the exquisite flavor of Nostrana Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar from Palazzo di Varignana. Perfect for Christmas dinner, this recipe is simple, festive, and oh-so-delicious!

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Nostrana Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar – for drizzling

Instructions

1.     Prep the lamb:
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2.     Heat the pan:
Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops.

3.     Cook to perfection:
Sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time to your preferred doneness. Add rosemary and thyme to the pan during the last minute for a fragrant, festive touch.

4.     Rest the meat:
Remove lamb chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This keeps them tender and juicy.

5.     Add the magic touch:
Drizzle each chop generously with Nostrana Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar. The rich, fruity flavor of Nostrana elevates every bite and makes it truly holiday-worthy.

Serve and enjoy:
Arrange your lamb chops on a festive platter, sprinkle with a little extra rosemary for garnish, and watch the smiles appear at your Christmas table!

Pro tip: Pair with roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or a crisp winter salad, which also perfectly pair with the Nostrana. And don’t forget a glass of red wine to toast the season!

Buon Appetito!
