Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to overnight in the refrigerator. In the meantime, make the spicy pears. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter, and when the butter is bubbling add the jalapeno pepper and the curry powder. Saute for 1 minute, until the curry and pepper is fragrant.

Cover, turn the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes until the pears are softened. Discard the jalapeno peppers. Season the lamb chops with salt. Heat a frying pan over high heat.

Fry for 2-3 minutes each side, depending on thickness of the lamb chops. Serve with spicy pears. Makes 4 servings.
