Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 2 lamb loin chops
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4-1/3 cup wine
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon tarragon

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 425.
• 2 bring lamb chops to room temperature, pat dry.
• 3 add 1 tbsp of butter to large fry pan and set heat to medium-high.
• 4 combine mustard powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon and cumin. rub onto lamb.
• 5 place lamb into hot pan and sear on both sides for two minutes.
• 6 transfer lamb to a baking dish sprayed with non-stick olive oil spray and pour half of the juices left in the frying pan on top of the chops.
• 7 cook lamb chops for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness, baste (with half of the sauce you will make in the next step) and flip once or twice during cooking.
• 8 after lamb chops are in the oven turn stove top to medium low and pour wine into the frying pan to deglaze. use more or less depending on how thick and sweet you want your sauce.
• 9 add butter, maple syrup, and tarragon.
• 10 allow to thicken to your desired consistency. use half to baste chops once or twice during cooking.
• 11 remove chops from oven when just under done - because they are thicker they will continue to cook once you remove them. pour remaining sauce on top and serve.
