  • In a medium skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium. Place chops in skillet, crumb side down; season with salt and pepper. Cook until crust is browned, 3 to 4 minutes; turn, and cook 4 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet), and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

  • Add spinach to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until wilted, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve lamb with spinach and lemon wedge.

Cook's Notes

The crunchy garlic-parsley crust seals in the juices of the lamb. It's easiest to flip the chops with tongs rather than a spatula to keep the crust intact.
