A go-to recipe for lamb rib chops that can be as elegant and refined or as casual and quick as you'd like. The key is to drop the chops in a preheated cast-iron skillet to achieve that crispy golden exterior. And don't forget the garlic, fennel seeds and a few sprigs of whatever hearty herbs you have on hand—these are the major flavor players.
Make sure the lamb rib chops are French trimmed (the last inch or so of meat attached to the ends of the ribs have been trimmed away, leaving a bare bone.) Your butcher can do this for you as well.
