One half teaspoon Minced garlic or garlic
puree
1 teaspoon Anise seeds

Season both sides of lamb chops with salt and pepper. Press thyme into
chops. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12inch skillet. Sear
chops for a minute on each side.

Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how
well you like your chops done. Turn the chops occasionally while they cook.
Remove them to a plate and set aside; discard almost all of the fat. Add

Scrape up juices and reduce until syrupy. Off heat, stir in 2 tablespoons
