How to Make Lamb Chops Calabrese With Tomatoes Peppers And Olives

  1. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned and slightly charred. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the Kalamata olives.
  7. Return the lamb chops to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
