Lamb Chops With Poached Quince And Balsamic Pan Sauce Food

HONEY-BALSAMIC LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the balsamic vinegar, garlic, and honey. Pulse until blended. With the machine running, slowly pour in the vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and forms a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary. Grill the lamb chops for 2 to 3 minutes each side until medium-rare.
• Arrange the lamb chops on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the top or serve the sauce on the side.

LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
• Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

BALSAMIC PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pan fry your burgers or steak.
• Keep warm (let steak rest).
• Add onions to pan and brown to caramelize.

• To brown bits in pan over medium heat add 1/2 to 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar (inexpensive balsamic is fine-you're gonna cook it down),honey,olive oil,soy sauce,dash of salt,pepper and garlic powder.

• Return onions to pan,coat with sauce and bring to temp (bout a minute).
• Serve over burgers or steak.
• Note-has sweeter taste-you may omit honey if too sweet,since you are cooking down the balsamic and condensing the sweetness).
