Peel onions and cut them into rings. Wash the rosemary and chop coarsely, except for a little to garnish. Wash the lemon, rub dry and cut into slices. Wash chops, dab dry. If necessary, cut some of the meat free from the bone ends.
Season with a little salt and chili. Turn chops in flour and tap off excess flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry the chops in it for 2-3 minutes on each side, remove. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion rings until golden brown. Add rosemary and lemons and fry briefly.
