Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 4 whole ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb chops with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside to rest, loosely covered with foil.

Step 3

While the lamb rests, peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 4

In a clean skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, ground cayenne pepper, and lemon juice until the mixture is well-combined and bubbling.

Step 5

Add the bananas to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and coated in the spiced butter mixture. Be gentle to avoid breaking the bananas.

Step 6

To serve, arrange two lamb chops on each plate alongside the deviled bananas. Drizzle any extra sauce from the banana skillet over the top.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your unique sweet and savory dish!
