Lamb Chops With Redcurrant Sauce And Sauté Potatoes Food

LAMB CHOPS WITH RED CURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the chops in a plastic bag with the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar seasoning and lemon juice. Place the bag in a dish and leave them to marinate for several hours in the refrigerator. Turn the bag over a few times to ensure all of the meat makes contact with the marinade.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Arrange the chops on a rack in a roasting pan and roast 15 - 20 minutes.
• While the chops are roasting, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3 minutes. Add the remainder of the marinade from the chops and simmer for a few minutes. Add the sherry, water, red currant jelly, coriander, and seasoning. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Thicken the sauce by cooking it down for a few minutes or by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Add a little warmed sauce and return to the saucepan. Stir and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened.
• Serve the chops with the sauce poured over. It is great over steamed rice.

LAMB CHOPS IN SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients together, add chops and let marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Mix all sauce ingredients together well.
• Preheat broiler to 500°F.
• Remove chops from marinade, and dip them into the sauce mixture.
• Broil the chops for about 7-10 minutes.
• Dip chops into sauce mixture again, and broil the chops on the other side for about 7-10 more minutes, or until done.
• While the second side of the chops are broiling, heat the remaining sauce until it simmers.
• Simmer sauce for about 1 minute.
• Serve chops with additional sauce* if desired.
• *Note: If you would like additional sauce to serve on the side with the chops, make a second batch of the "sauce," thinning it a bit with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water to prevent scorching when heated.

LAMB CHOPS WITH REDCURRANT SAUCE AND SAUTé POTATOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan on low heat, mix together the redcurrant jelly and red wine vinegar. Chop up the garlic and rosemary and add them to the sauce. Mix and leave on the heat until there are no chunks of the jelly left (this should take about 5 minutes). When finished put the lamb chops into a shallow dish and pour the sauce on top. Cover with cling film and leave aside for an hour.
• Half an hour before you are ready to serve, peel the potatoes and slice them up into pieces around 1cm thick. Put them in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft. When they are finished, strain the potatoes and fry in oil for 5-10 minutes on either side, ensuring that they are brown and crispy. You can now either put them on a plate under tinfoil or put them in a warm oven until they are needed to be served.
• Remove the lamb chops from the marinade/sauce and put on a plate to dry a little before you cook them on the griddle. Heat up the griddle with olive oil until hot and sear the lamb chops on either side to your liking. Meanwhile pour the sauce back into the saucepan, add a couple of handfuls of redcurrants, and heat it up to be served.
• Once everything is cooked and prepared; remove the potatoes from the oven and serve with the sticky lamb chops, redcurrant sauce and green vegetables.

SAUTEED SICILIAN LAMB

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the pan along with the garlic and saute until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano and pepper flakes and stir. The lamb is done when browned all over but still tender. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
• Set the pan back over the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, roasted peppers and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the olives, capers and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the lamb to the pan and stir together to incorporate the flavors and heat through.
• Serve the lamb with rice pilaf and garnish with the parsley.

HERBY REDCURRANT LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• In a shallow, non-metallic dish, mix together the red wine vinegar and redcurrant jelly. Strip the leaves from the rosemary stalks, set a few aside to garnish, and finely chop the remainder.
• Stir into the redcurrant mixture with the garlic. Add the lamb and turn in the mixture; then allow to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then add the lamb with its marinade and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the lamb is done to your liking and the sauce has reduced to a sticky consistency.
• Serve the lamb with mashed potatoes and steamed snow peas. Garnish with the reserved rosemary.

LAMB EN CROûTE WITH REDCURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the lamb well. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry three fillets over a high heat for 5 minutes until seared on the outside. Remove from the pan and repeat with the other 3 fillets. Set aside until cold.
• Unravel the whole pack of pastry on a floured surface and cut into four rectangles. Cut the half pack to make two rectangles. Roll out each piece to make the rectangles 2.5cm larger all round.
• Position one rectangle with a short side facing you, brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with a sixth of the chopped sage. Put a lamb fillet on the pastry close to the end facing you, then fold the long sides in to cover the ends of the meat; brush these with more egg yolk.
• Freeze the lamb parcels on a tray until solid for 4 hours, then pack in a freezer container. Seal, label and freeze for up to a month.
• To make the sauce, melt the redcurrant jelly in a pan over a gentle heat, add the port and rosemary and boil uncovered for 10-12 minutes until syrupy. Cool for 5 minutes, strain into a freezer container, then leave until completely cold. Seal, label and freeze for up to a month.
• On the day defrost the lamb seam-side down on a wire rack for 3 hours at room temperature. Defrost the sauce at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Put the parcels seam-side down on a nonstick baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, then snip four incisions in the top of each. Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and rest them for 5-10 minutes. Reheat the sauce in a pan.
• Slice each parcel and serve with the sauce and watercress salad.

SPICE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS (PAN SAUTEED)

Steps:

• Stir together the thyme, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper.
• Put lamb on a plate and rub each side with the spice mixture; let stand from 10 minutes to an hour.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Add chops and reduce heat to medium.
• Cook chops, flipping halfway through, until deeply browned, about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
• Transfer each chop to a serving plate.
• Divide arugula between plates and drizzle with the remaining teaspoons of oil.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT, TOMATO AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, trim away as much of the surface fat from the lamb as possible. Brush or rub the chops on both sides with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Press the parsley and basil firmly into both sides of each chop. Let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before roasting.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, start making the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the shallot and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and release their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat, stir in the basil and mint, and set aside until the lamb chops are roasted.
• Preheat a large, heavy ovenproof fry pan over high heat until very hot. Add the 1 Tb olive oil, and then add the lamb chops and sear for 2 minutes. Turn the chops and sear for 1 minute on the other side.
• Immediately transfer the pan to the oven and roast the lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, away from the bone, registers 125 to 130 F for medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the chops to a warmed platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest while you finish the sauce.
• Pour off any excess fat from the pan. Set the pan over medium-high heat, pour in the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom.
• Add the tomato sauce and any juices that have accumulated on the platter and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• Divide the chops among warmed plates. Divide the sauce evenly among them, spooning it over the top. Serve immediately.
