Basting infuses the lamb with incredible flavor and helps it cook evenly.

Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with foil, for at least 5 minutes. While resting, sauté the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and new potatoes in a separate pan with a little olive oil until tender-crisp.
