Take a nice large pan, put in 1 tablespoon
of the butter and put on medium heat. Sear all sides until
much of the fat has been melted, or about 4 minutes.
At this point,
there will probably be a lot of fat in the pan. As shameful
as it is, you should probably pour out all but a few tablespoons
of it because you don't want it to be greasy.
Put in the garlic,
and sprinkle the salt and pepper on your lamb chops. Add
another tablespoon of butter. Cook for 5 minutes on one
side, occasionally basting with the butter. Flip, and cook
for 5 minutes on the other side, continuing to baste. Depending
on the thickness, and how rare you want it, it should be
about done. You might as well check it by slicing into one
of the chops and taking a peak.
Once done, remove
your lamb chops to a plate and set aside.
Again, pour off
the fat until there is only a tablespoon left. Put the pan
on medium-high heat and pour in your passion fruit liquor.
Simmer for a minute or two to evaporate the alcohol, then
add the remaining tablespoon of butter and a little salt.
Serve your lamb
chops on nice plates, and pour a little of the sauce on
top of each one.
Serves 2 Valentines
that cannot resist one another.
