- 2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Cracked black pepper
Directions:
- Pat dry the chops with a paper towel.
- Generously rub each side of the chops with 'Anakala Lu`au Coffee Rub & Seasoning and refrigerate for two hours.

Lavender Butter
Ingredients:
- 1/4 stick unsalted butter, softened but not melted or separated
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper (+ or -)
- 1/8 tsp Aloha Spice Sea Salt (+ or -)
- 2 Tbsp minced shallots
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp lavender
- 1/2 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
Directions:
Mix in a bowl by hand and use a spatula to transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Shape it into a log shape and roll it up. Chill, remove paper, and cut coins to garnish the chops. The compound butter can be frozen until needed.
Recipe Notes:
These lamb chops are cut from a rack of lamb and have two bones so they’re twice as thick to ensure that you don’t overcook and consequently dry out the meat.
The compound butter with lavender is a complement to the lavender in the coffee rub.
