Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

lamb chops

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork chops

Chicken thighs are lower in fat and pork chops are more affordable.

fresh rosemary

🥗Healthier: dried rosemary

💰Cheaper: none

Dried rosemary is more accessible and has a longer shelf life.

fresh thyme

🥗Healthier: dried thyme

💰Cheaper: none

Dried thyme is a cost-effective alternative.

Add minced garlic to olive oil and salt in a mixing bowl.

Chop fresh rosemary and thyme, then add to the bowl with the garlic and olive oil.

Coat lamb chops well with the herb mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.

Cover the lamb chops and let them marinate at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the marinated lamb chops to the skillet once hot.

Optionally, add vegetables like young carrots brushed with butter to the skillet to roast alongside the lamb.

Prepare side dishes such as risotto with Parmesan cheese and peas, and haricots verts with sliced toasted almonds.
