1 Combine garlic, ginger, lime juice, thyme, vinegar, peppercorns and salt in small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2. Add mustard and honey and bring to boil, stirring constantly, until slightly reduced, about 5 to 8 minutes (mixture will be sticky). Strain through cheesecloth into jar with tight-fitting lid and seal tightly. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be prepared up to 6 weeks ahead). 2 Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of lamb chops. Spread 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons mustard mixture over all sides of each chop (if using American lamb, increase mustard to 2 to 3 teaspoons per chop). Dip all sides into bread crumbs, covering completely and patting gently so bread crumbs adhere. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add 1/2 of chops and brown on both sides (be careful not to burn; chops should be medium rare). Transfer to platter and keep warm. Repeat 3 For white wine thyme vinegar, combine 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1 teaspoon dried thyme in small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat. Let simmer 5 minutes. Strain well before using.
