Take
a nice large pan, put in 1 tablespoon of the butter and put on medium heat. Sear
all sides until much of the fat has been melted, or about 4 minutes.
At
this point, there will probably be a lot of fat in the pan. As shameful as it
is, you should probably pour out all but a few tablespoons of it because you don't
want it to be greasy.
Put
in the garlic, and sprinkle the salt and pepper on your lamb chops. Add another
tablespoon of butter. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, occasionally basting with
the butter. Flip, and cook for 5 minutes on the other side, continuing to baste.
Depending on the thickness, and how rare you want it, it should be about done.
You might as well check it by slicing into one of the chops and taking a peak.
Once
done, remove your lamb chops to a plate and set aside.
Again,
pour off the fat until there is only a tablespoon left. Put the pan on medium-high
heat and pour in your passion fruit liquor. Simmer for a minute or two to evaporate
the alcohol, then add the remaining tablespoon of butter and a little salt.
Serve
your lamb chops on nice plates, and pour a little of the sauce on top of each
one.
