“I am quite vocal about how lamb is my favourite meat, I love it! Here, my butcher hooked me up with fantastic cutlets and we simply cooked them on the braai (BBQ). Lamb and rosemary go so well together, so I made a quick flavoured butter beforehand to melt on top and pimp my chops. Why not enjoy these with my Tear-and-Share Keto Garlic Bread and a lovely salad on the side at your next BBQ?” – Monya

More on Lamb Chops with Rosemary Butter…
Lamb cutlets, rich in high-quality protein and healthy fats, serve as a prime keto protein source. These succulent cuts also provide essential nutrients like vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium, promoting overall health and immune function. Importantly for keto adherents, lamb contains minimal carbohydrates, making it a perfect fit for the diet’s carb restrictions.

The star of this dish, however, is the melted rosemary garlic butter. Butter, a keto staple, supplies essential fats that support ketosis. Garlic offers not only a burst of flavour but also compounds like allicin, which may have beneficial cardiovascular effects.
Rosemary not only enhances the dish’s aroma but also provides antioxidants that combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Additionally, rosemary can support cognitive function and memory, a bonus for those on the keto diet seeking enhanced mental clarity.
This simple dish offers great flavours and essential nutrients, showcasing how keto can be both delicious and beneficial for one’s health.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Lamb Chops with Rosemary Butter
Per serving
Ingredients
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 75 g (2.7 oz) unsalted butter, softened (room temp)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- generous pinch of salt
- 12 lamb chops
- smoked sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start with the rosemary butter. Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop very finely.
- Add the softened butter to a small bowl and tip in the chopped rosemary. Use a garlic press to crush the garlic cloves into the bowl. (NOTE: I used a garlic press here to ensure I only yielded the lovely inner garlic flesh. Discard the bits left in the press between crushing each clove.)
- Season the butter with salt and combine well before tipping out onto a sheet of cling film.
- Roll the butter in the cling film to form an even-sized 'log', approximately 3cm / 1" in diameter (you will be slicing them into 12 discs later, so estimate with a little logic here). Twist the ends and place in the fridge to set firm for at least 40 minutes.
- To cook, prepare your braai (BBQ). Once the coals are ready, season the chops with a little salt, then cook them as you normally would on the grill, turning occasionally until done to your liking.
- Just before the lamb chops are done, remove the log of butter from the fridge, unwrap the cling film and slice into 12 even-sized discs.
- Place a disc onto each chop and allow to melt. Season with smoked sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
