Dinner Tonight: Lamb Chops With Crème Fraîche Beans Recipe

• 1 to 2 lamb chops, depending on size
• Salt and pepper
• 1 can white or red beans, such as borlotti or cannelini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
• 1/4 cup creme fraiche
• 6 to 8 basil leaves, chopped

1. Rub the lamb chops with plenty of salt, pepper, and olive oil. Turn on a broiler, grill, or heat up a grill pan. Once it is very hot, grill the lamb chops until desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
2. In the meantime, drain and rinse the beans and add them to a skillet with the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and a few tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are soft. Add the creme fraiche and turn the heat to high. Cook until the beans are coated and creamy, then stir in the basil off the heat, reserving a little for garnish.
3. Serve the lamb chops on the beans and garnish with the reserved basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper.
