Enjoy tender lamb chops smothered in savory gravy with a kick and served with classic, creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. russet or Idaho potatoes, washed and cubed (peel if desired)
- 2 tablespoons ghee
-
3 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
- 1 cup milk (see Recipe Notes)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small lamb chops
- 1 tablespoon cassava flour
- 1 cup chicken or beef bone broth
-
½ cup Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ Sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
Directions
To make the mashed potatoes:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt.
Add potato cubes to boiling water. Boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and return to heated burner. Turn off the burner.
- Using a potato masher or a large wooden spoon, mash the potato cubes until they reach your desired level of smoothness. Don’t overmix or mash the potatoes too hard.
- Add the ghee, avocado oil, and milk. Add a good amount of salt and pepper.
- Stir the potatoes until the fat has melted and the potatoes are smooth.
- Cover to keep warm.
To cook the lamb chops:
Pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil.
- When oil just starts to smoke, add lamb chops. Sear chops for 3–4 minutes per side.
Remove lamb chops from cast iron skillet and set aside. Cover to keep warm.
To make the BBQ gravy:
- Sprinkle cassava flour into the fat remaining in the skillet and whisk for 1 minute.
- Add broth and whisk until it thickens.
- Add Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ Sauce, and whisk in. Remove from heat.
To serve:
- Place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate.
- Top with 2 lamb chops per plate. Sprinkle with fresh chopped oregano.

Lamb is a delightful way to add variety to dinnertime, especially if you typically stick to beef, pork, and chicken. Bone-in lamb chops are tender and flavorful, and they cook up more quickly than might expect. Just a few minutes of searing on each side is all it takes.
This recipe offers a slight twist on your typical meat-and-potatoes supper. Primal Kitchen Golden BBQ Sauce adds a mustardy, slightly acidic kick that helps cut through the umami savoriness of the lamb chop gravy. Pile the saucy chops on top of a bed of mashed potatoes, or mashed cauliflower if you prefer. Serve with a simple green salad of baby arugula or spinach topped with shaved fennel, parmesan cheese curls, and a few toasted pine nuts or hazelnuts. This is comfort food reimagined!
