Zaatar Lamb Chop with cracked fennel

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the celery in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the lamb chop, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the garlic along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with flaky sea salt and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
