Ingredients: 4 lamb loin chops (120g each, 1.5 inches thick); fine sea salt; freshly cracked black pepper; 2 tbsp neutral oil; 1 medium globe eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes; 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 medium red onion, finely diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; ⅓ cup diced San Marzano tomatoes; 2 tbsp golden raisins; 2 tbsp pine nuts, lightly toasted; 1 tbsp red wine vinegar; 1 tsp caster sugar; 6 black garlic cloves, minced; ½ cup lamb or chicken stock; 1 tbsp unsalted butter; ½ tsp fresh thyme leaves; 3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs; 8 fresh sage leaves, finely minced; 1 tbsp clarified butter (for breadcrumbs); fleur de sel; 1 small handful fresh parsley, chopped

Thick-cut lamb loin chops seared until medium-rare with a dark crust, served over a silky caponata (charred eggplant, tomato, pine nuts, raisins) and finished with a glossy black garlic jus. Crispy sage-infused breadcrumbs crown the dish, adding textural complexity and herbaceous bite—restaurant-quality technique on a home cook's stove.
