Method:

1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice golden-brown crust when searing. Rub both sides with salt, black pepper and fresh thyme leaves. You can do this ahead of time or 30mins before cooking while returning the lamb chops to room temperature.

Bought a pot of Thyme plant from CS, must quickly used it up before it RIP >.<

2. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Place the lamb chops fat-side down first and allow the fat to render until golden and slightly crispy. This usually takes about 2–3 minutes. Lay the lamb chops flat and sear each side for approximately 1 minute, depending on their thickness and your preferred doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the lamb sears properly instead of steaming.

3. Reduce the heat, add butter, smashed garlic cloves and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan. Once the butter melts and becomes fragrant, continuously spoon the garlic-thyme butter over the lamb chops. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness. 

4. Remove the lamb chops from the pan. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy. Tips: Don't throw away that delicious garlic-thyme butter left in the pan! Use it to prepare a quick and tasty vegetable side dish. Add some shimeji mushrooms to the same pan and stir-fry until tender and lightly golden. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Add the baby spinach and toss briefly until just wilted. The mushrooms and spinach will soak up all the delicious flavours left behind from cooking the lamb. 若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood  to receive more recipe updates.

Caramelised Banana Overnight Oats with Coconut Milk 焦糖香蕉椰奶隔夜燕麦

This overnight oats taste like dessert! I love how the caramelised banana adds sweetness, while the coconut milk makes the oats extra creamy with a lovely coconut fragrance. The combination of banana and coconut works so well together, making this a breakfast that feels more like a treat. I usually prefer using rolled oats for overnight oats, as they give a nice texture. But this time, I ran out of rolled oats, so I used quick-cook oats instead. It still turned out delicious! The texture is just a little softer, so don't worry if quick-cook oats are all you have at home. It's simple to prepare, lovely for a make-ahead breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients: 1 small serving

1/4 cup Oats 燕麦片 1/4 杯

1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk 椰奶 1/3 杯

(adjust the amount to your preferred consistency)

1/4 cup Greek Yoghurt  希腊酸奶1/4杯

1.5 tsp Chia Seeds 奇亚籽 1.5小匙

1-2 tsp Honey 蜜糖 1-2小匙

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Banana 香蕉 1 根

1 tsp Sugar 细砂糖 1小匙

Method:

盖好，放进冰箱。隔天早上将香蕉切片铺成一层，均匀撒上糖，再用喷枪将糖炙烧至焦糖色即可。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood  to receive more recipe updates.
