CRANBERRY GLAZED LAMB CHOPS



Cranberry Glazed Lamb Chops image

Simple but classy. Lamb draws in flavors from marinades very quickly, so this dish has a fairly quick prep time. Lamb is often paired with mashed or baked potatoes, and those will go well with this dish, but I often serve it with egg pasta (homemade tagliatoni when I'm going all out). A vinegarette-dressed salad is a good match as a vegetable course.

Provided by Primordial

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lamb chops (or 8 small chops)
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If the chops are particularly thick, place each one between two layers of plastic wrap and gently flatten them using the heel of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Combine the cranberry relish, rosemary and vinegar (it sometimes helps to warm the cranberry relish a bit in the microwave or a small saucepan). Put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. Set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
  • Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven broiler.
  • When the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. Wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
  • Position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. Brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. Turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. Brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 small Lamb Chops
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. Garlic,crushed
1 T. Coarse Salt
1 t. Coarse Ground Pepper
Balsamic Reduction:
1/2 C. Balsamic vinegar
1/2 t. Coarse Salt
1/4 t. Freshly ground Black Pepper

Steps:

  • Balsamic Reduction In a medium saucepan, pour in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the vinegar has reduced by one third to one half and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Watch closely!

Place the oven on broil. Place the lamb chops in a bowl or large ziploc bag. Place the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl with the chops and toss well to evenly coat the chops with the seasonings and oil. Spread the chops out evenly on a broiling pan, making sure that they are not touching each other. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven and broil the chops for about 5 minutes, or until the chops are a deep, golden brown on the side facing up. Remove the chops from the oven and turn each one over. Place them back in the oven and broil again for about 5 minutes or until the side facing up is the same golden brown as the underside. Remove from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chops. Plate the chops as desired and drizzle additional balsamic glaze over them as desired.

MAPLE-AND-BALSAMIC-GLAZED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT, TOASTED ALMONDS AND FETA COUSCOUS



Maple-and-Balsamic-Glazed Lamb Chops with Mint, Toasted Almonds and Feta Couscous image

This flavor combo may not be a reinvention of the wheel, but it's a simple seductive supper nonetheless. I have to do away with knives and forks for these little lamb chops, and with messy fingers, gnaw off the meat, right down to the bone.

Provided by Lorraine Pascale

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable oil, for cooking
Large handful of fresh thyme sprigs
Salt and pepper
8 lamb chops or 8 lamb cutlets
1 bunch spring onions
2 ounces sliced almonds
11 ounces couscous
7 ounces good feta cheese
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 ounce butter
Small handful of fresh mint leaves
Handful of pomegranate seeds, optional
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the lamb: Put a large frying pan on medium heat with a good glug of oil. Run your fingers down the thyme sprigs to release their leaves and sprinkle them all over a large plate. Add a little salt and pepper and then squish the lamb chops or cutlets into the mix, turning them over to coat both sides. (This will give a lovely crust when cooked.) Fry them in the pan until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook, depending on how you like them done, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer them to a plate to rest for a few minutes, covered with foil (this will make them much more tender and juicy).
  • Meanwhile, trim and slice the spring onions. Add the spring onions and salmonds to the frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring every now and then, until the onions are wilted and the almonds golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • For the couscous: Meanwhile, put some water on to boil.
  • Pour the couscous into a medium bowl and just cover with the boiled water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for about 5 minutes.
  • For the glaze: Combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar and butter in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer, leaving it to bubble away for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time. Once thickened and syrupy, remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • Check that the couscous grains have absorbed all the water and are tender, then fluff it up with a fork. Crumble the feta cheese in, season with salt and pepper and add a good drizzle of oil. Stir together and re-cover to keep warm.
  • Divide the couscous among four serving plates. Sit the rested lamb chops on top and drizzle the glaze (and any resting juices) over. Scatter over the spring onion and almond mix. Rip up the mint leaves and scatter them over the top. If using, top with the pomegranate seeds and serve.

GUINNESS-GLAZED LAMB CHOPS



Guinness-Glazed Lamb Chops image

How to make Guinness-Glazed Lamb Chops

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (16 ounces) Guinness stout
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
Salt
16 lamb rib chops (buy separately or buy two 8-rib racks of lamb and cut them yourself into individual chops)
Freshly ground black peppe

Steps:

  • Bring stout, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 2-quart nonreactive saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then continue boiling (keep an eye on it and reduce heat to keep it from boiling over) until glaze is syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Pat chops dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Divide glaze between 2 small bowls and set 1 aside for use later. Brush both sides of chops with glaze (from remaining bowl) and arrange on rack of a broiler pan.
  • Broil 5 inches from heat, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. (Don't hesitate to cut and peek to check on the doneness of the meat.)
  • Transfer chops to a platter and drizzle with reserved glaze.
  • COOKS' NOTES:
  • Beer can be confusing to measure: Do you include the head, or scoop it off, or let it dissipate? Guinness comes in a variety of different-size cans and bottles. Tilt the measuring cup while pouring the stout against the side of the measure (to minimize the creation of its famous head), and let the foam subside so that you are only measuring the dark liquid. Any leftovers are the cook's treat.
  • To crush coriander seeds and peppercorns, either use a mortar and pestle, or put coriander seeds and peppercorns in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with the bottom of a heavy skillet or a rolling pin.
  • Glaze can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring it to room temperature before using.
  • Depending on where you buy your lamb rib chops, they can come trimmed and frenched (the bones are scraped clean of fat and meat), or left alone with the thin layers of fat and meat on the bones intact. It is generally cheaper to buy 8-rib racks of lamb from the big-box stores and cut them yourself into chops. If you prefer the look of long, cleaned bones, select the frenched chops or racks (some big-box stores sell them that way). If you want extra nibbly bits of meat and fat left on the bone for your guests to gnaw on, look for untrimmed chops, or specifically request the butcher not to french the bones.

KEY LIME LAMB CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS



Key Lime Lamb Chops with Glazed Carrots image

We wanted to use key lime juice for something besides pie, so we made it into a zesty sauce for lamb chops and carrots in this Chopped Dinner Challenge recipe. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Key lime juice

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh key lime juice
1 cup chicken broth
Kosher salt
1 pound thin carrots
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 racks lamb, frenched (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Melt the sugar with 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until a golden caramel is formed, about 10 minutes. Add the lime juice, bring to a boil and allow the sugar to melt into the sauce until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and boil until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Steam the carrots in a covered rack set over boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir together 3 tablespoons of the key lime gastrique and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon of the butter, the seasoned gastrique and the parsley.
  • Stir together the coriander with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the lamb.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium heat until hot. Sear the lamb on two sides until browned, about 2 minutes each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the lamb is medium, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let the lamb stand 10 minutes before serving with the carrots and remaining gastrique.
