This is an easy, flavor-packed midweek meal that is low carb and quick to throw together. Depending on the thickness of the chops, you may need as many as eight chops to satiate you and your family.

Chef Tips:

You can cook the lamb chops on the grill, but if you are enjoying this indoors, the air-fryer works great!
To trim broccolini, cut off the gnarly end of each stem and pick off any leaves. If you want to be a little fancy, cut the stem at an angle for a pretty presentation.
To trim asparagus, snap off the very hard, woody end of the stalk/stem, then use a vegetable peeler to shave off the bottom half: this also results in a beautiful presentation.

Delight in the tender, flavorful lamb chops paired with a vibrant medley of garlic-buttered greens. This dish beautifully balances rich and savory notes with fresh, aromatic elements, creating a satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

3.5 oz grass-fed butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed with the back of a knife
4-8 lamb chops (depending on their thickness)
5.3 oz asparagus, trimmed, weight before trimming
7 oz broccolini, trimmed, weight before trimming
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the smashed garlic and leave to simmer for 7-10 minutes.
Once the butter starts foaming, reduce the heat and allow the milk solids to brown a little – this will give the butter a lovely, nutty flavor. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse until just before serving.
Meanwhile, get the lamb chops in the air fryer and prepare the greens. Season the chops all over and place in the air fryer (air fryer setting) at 400°F/200°C for 12-15 minutes until the meat is tender and the fat is crispy. For thinner chops, you may not need as long (and a pink center is never a bad thing when it comes to lamb).
At the same time, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
Add the trimmed greens (see tip) and boil for 4 minutes only.
Drain well and season with salt.
Place into a bowl, then strain the garlic butter through a strainer lined with cheesecloth over the greens. Discard the garlic and brown milk solids in the cheesecloth.
Toss the greens to gently coat in the delicious butter.
Serve the chops with the greens and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
