03 — Method

  1. Take the 12 chops out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead so they cook evenly.
  2. For the marinade, remove the germ from the 6 garlic cloves and crush them. Strip and finely chop half the rosemary and thyme. Mix in a large shallow dish with the olive oil and lemon zest.
  3. Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin and ½ tsp each of salt and pepper.
  4. Coat the chops in the marinade and leave for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (ideally 1 hour in the fridge).
  5. Heat the large cast-iron skillet or griddle over very high heat until it just smokes.
  6. Lift out the chops and let excess marinade drip off. Season with fleur de sel and pepper just before cooking.
  7. Cook for 3 minutes per side for pink (2 for rare, 4 for medium), turning with tongs rather than a fork.
  8. Rest under foil on a warm plate for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the remaining herb leaves and a squeeze of lemon.
