Go camping this summer, and sear some lamb chops over the open flame while you're at it!

The city life can drive you mad. Sometimes you gotta escape civilization.


Camping Is Dope


I'd write a bunch of lines about how great camping is, but I don't feel like it. I just wanted to share this easy campfire recipe with you.

Getting out of the city and being one with nature is vital! If you haven't tried it, I highly suggest it. For city dwellers especially, the simplicity of camping will restore you to your core. None of that societal norms bullshit. Just you and the stars. There's something about a campfire that's so revitalizing. And is it just me, or does all meat taste better when camping?


I recently seared lamb chops while camping in Big Sur and it may have been the best meat I've had all year. It was such a fun and rewarding experience cooking outside of the kitchen.

 

The Recipe


Here's what you'll need:

  • Cast iron skillet

  • Olive oil

  • 2 lamb shoulder chops

  • Kosher salt

  • Fresh ground pepper

  • Fresh chopped thyme

  • Handful of cloves of garlic, halved

  • 3 tbsp water

  • Fresh chopped parsley

  • Pinch red pepper flakes

  • Fresh lemon juice

Step 2
