Best Grilled Lamb Chops With Black Cherry Glaze And Risotto Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH CHERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• To make the glaze:
• In a saucepan at medium-high heat, combine the cherries, 1/2 cup bone broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to a simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, add 1/4 cup bone broth and tapioca starch. Whisk together. Once combined, pour into saucepan and stir until sauce thickens.
• To make the lamb chops:
• Turn the oven to broil. Brush the avocado oil on the chops. Combine seasonings and press evenly onto chops. Place chops in a baking dish and broil for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer lamb to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Top with cherry glaze and serve.

BLACK CHERRY-BLACK PEPPER LAMB CHOPS WITH SWEET PEA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place the stock in a medium pot and warm it up over medium-low heat.
• Place an oven rack 8 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.
• In a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat, melt a tablespoon of the butter with a tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. When the pan is hot, add the onions and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the Arborio and cook for a minute more. Add the wine and cook it all away, 1 minute. Add a few ladles of warm stock and let the rice absorb it, stirring occasionally. The risotto will take 22 minutes to cook. Add a ladle of broth as each addition is absorbed, until the risotto is starchy, creamy, and cooked to al dente. Add the peas when the risotto is just about al dente, the last minute or two. Add the cheese, mint, and parsley just before serving.
• When the risotto is half cooked, 10 minutes from being done, drizzle the lamb chops with EVOO and arrange them on a slotted broiler pan. Place the chops under the hot broiler and cook for 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Place a tiny pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO and the shallots to the pan. Cook the shallots for 2 minutes, then add the preserves and whisk them together with the balsamic vinegar and black pepper. Heat them to a bubble, then remove them from the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Whisk the butter into the sauce.
• Season the risotto with salt to taste. Place a generous serving of risotto into shallow dinner plates. Arrange 2 chops on each plate alongside the risotto and drizzle the black cherry-black pepper glaze over the chops. Garnish the plates with extra sprigs of mint.
