Here's a great recipe to start with if you're just learning how to cook lamb chops on the stove—which is, in my opinion, the easiest method. Not least because, when you've got a protein as small and as delicate as this, you really only need to pan-fry them for a couple minutes per side. This means, too, that you won't stink up your 250–square foot shoebox studio with meat fumes, nor will this short of a cooking time make much of a mess in terms of oil splatter. <br /> <br />My pan-fried lamb chops start with a spicy, herbaceous marinade, which lends nice flavor and tenderizes the meat. Then, they go straight into a heated nonstick or cast-iron skillet (no additional oil because there's oil in the marinade), followed by a cup of frozen peas you warm up right in the rendered lamb fat left over in the pan. This is a special but easy dinner for dates nights in ... with yourself.
