Melt butter in a heavy bottomed casserole dish over a medium heat, cook the lamb chops in batches, turning until browned all over.

Transfer cooked lamb chops to a plate and set aside.

Add the onion, carrot and thyme to the saucepan and cook for 4 or 5 minutes until onion has softened. Add the flour and cook for a minute stirring constantly.
