Fennel Spiced Lamb Chops with Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs lamb chops
• 1 Tbsp Fennel Salt Mix
• Salt & pepper
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil
• 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 1 small shallot, sliced
• 1 persian cucumber, thinly sliced
• Zest & juice of 1 lemon
• ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
• 2 springs fresh mint

Instructions

Remove the chops from the fridge and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before cooking. Season both sides of the chops generously with Fennel Salt Mix. Season additionally with salt and black pepper if desired.

In a large bowl combine the fennel, shallot, cucumber, lemon zest & juice, & chopped dill. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and let it get hot. Sear the chops about 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare, or 1-2 minutes longer if medium-well done is your preference. Remove from heat and let rest on a cutting board
