Grilled Lamb Chops W Blueberry Juniper Sauce Recipe 415

RACK OF LAMB WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Season lamb generously with salt and black pepper. Heat oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet. Sear lamb on all sides until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn off heat. Remove lamb to a platter.
• Mix together Dijon mustard, rosemary, cinnamon, and cumin in a small bowl. Spread a thin layer of the mustard mixture on each rack of lamb.
• Place chopped shallots and pinch of salt into the same skillet. Cook and stir over medium-heat until shallots begin to lose moisture and become browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Add blueberries and continue cooking for about 2 minutes. Stir in red wine, turn off heat, and stir mixture to deglaze the pan.
• Place the racks of lamb into the skillet and interlace the rib bones together to push the lamb racks close together, leaving a lamb bone "zipper" in the center. Place the lamb racks into the center of the skillet. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
• Place skillet in pre-heated oven and roast lamb until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 20 minutes.
• Remove lamb to a cutting board to rest about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle balsamic vinegar into the blueberry sauce; add a pinch of salt. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer to reduce sauce by half, about 4 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in butter. When butter is melted, check seasonings and add more salt if needed.
• Slice racks into pieces of 2 ribs each. Serve topped with a spoonful of the blueberry sauce.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS W/ BLUEBERRY JUNIPER SAUCE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• 1. Make the sauce: In a saucepan, soften the shallot in the oil and butter, then add the honey, vinegar and blueberries and allow the mixture to come to a simmer. 2. In a spice grinder, or using a knife, finely chop the juniper berries and chile. Add this to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes and finish with the chopped fresh mint leaves. Remove from the heat. 3. Make the lamb: Lightly rub the chops or loin with the oil. Mix the rest of the ingredients and dust each side of the lamb with the spice blend. Grill the chops on medium-high for 3-1/2 to 4 minutes per side. 4. Allow the lamb to rest for a few minutes before plating. Serve the chops with the sauce drizzled along the plate.
