Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Chicken or lamb stock
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Melt the butter completely and swirl to combine with the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken or lamb stock and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Allow the liquid to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes silky.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Serve the Garlic Lemon Lamb Sauce warm over your favorite lamb dishes, such as lamb chops, roast lamb, or grilled lamb steaks. Enjoy!
