- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
1) Pat lamb chops dry and season generously with 2 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Vacuum seal with 2 tbsp butter, 1 clove garlic, and 2 sprigs rosemary. Place vacuum-sealed lamb in a Suvie pan, and cover with water. Place pan into bottom zone of your Suvie.

3) Once the lamb and glaze have finished cooking, remove vacuum bags for your Suvie and pat dry. Add apricot mix and 1 tbsp lemon juice to a food processor and mix until almost smooth, about 30 seconds.
4) Heat a cast iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Remove lamb chops from vacuum bag and place lamb chops fat cap side down in the pan and sear to render the fat, about 30 to 60 seconds (if your chops do not have a large fat cap add 1 tsp vegetable oil to the pan). Turn chops to sear one side until browned, about 60 seconds. Flip and cook the other side for 60 seconds.
5) To serve, divide lamb between plates and garnish with additional sauce as desired.
