Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Butter

2 cups

Chicken

1 bunch

Thyme (fresh)

Directions:

1

Sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto the lamb

2

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat

3

Cook the lamb evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side

4

The outside should be golden brown, and the inside still pink

5

Save the leftover juice in the pan

6

Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat, then add the bark and thyme

7

The bark should be placed on top of the thyme so that it is above the liquid

8

Now place the lamb on top of the bark so it will be steamed and not submerged in the stock

9

Cover the pot and let the lamb steam, about 3 minutes

10

Add the thyme flowers and bear's garlic

11

Cover and steam again, about 10 minutes, and then let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes

12

Slice the lamb evenly along each rib to make lamb chops

13

Place the ribs on plates with dollops of Bear's Garlic Pesto and pour a little bit of the leftover juice over the lamb

14

Garnish with primrose flowers

15

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add a pinch sea salt

16

Prepare a separate bowl of ice water and set aside

17

Blanch half the garlic in the boiling water for about 5 seconds, and then dip it in ice water for about 2 seconds

18

Squeeze the excess liquid from the leaves with your hands and place in a food processor with the remaining fresh garlic

19

Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil into the food processor with a pinch of salt

20

Process on high speed until coarsely ground, 5 to 10 seconds

21

Transfer the mixture to a sieve and press the liquid through into a bowl using a ladle
