Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine the panko, mint, basil, ginger and 3/4 tsp salt in a bowl, drizzle butter into herb mixture, mix until well combined.

Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat, drizzle with olive oil. Quickly sear the lamb chops evenly on all sides. Pack the bread crumb mixture onto the top of the lamb chop (not on the cut sides) so that it adheres. Roast 15 to 18 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees. Let stand for 5 minutes, serve.
