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.

BALSAMIC GLAZED LAMB CHOPS



BALSAMIC GLAZED LAMB CHOPS image

Categories     Lamb     Broil     Quick & Easy     Dinner

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
3 T. Brown Sugar

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! If the vinegar and sugar cook too long it will caramelize and become solid. Remove from heat and pour in a small bowl. Let cool. Can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. 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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are too thin or have a lot of gristle.
  • Marinate the lamb chops before cooking: This helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Glazed lamb chops are a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a restaurant-quality meal at home. The combination of tender lamb, sweet and tangy glaze, and crispy crust is sure to please everyone at your table.
