Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place garlic, shallot and cream in a small saucepan. Bring to barely a simmer, cover and cook until garlic and shallot are very soft, 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to a blender and purée, adding more cream as needed. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Rub lamb all over with thyme; discard sprigs. Brush lamb with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear or grill over medium-high heat until lamb reaches desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.

  3. Step 3

    Reheat garlic mixture over very low heat (do not boil), adding more cream if sauce is too thick. Season lightly with salt and serve with lamb chops.
