Lamb Chops With Redcurrant Sauce And Sauté Potatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add lamb bones and brown well, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add shallot; sauté 1 minute.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving, whisking frequently.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle lamb with thyme, salt and pepper. Add 1 lamb rack to skillet; brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Place browned lamb rack, meat side up, on rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with second lamb rack. Roast lamb until thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Let lamb stand 5 minutes. Cut lamb between bones into individual chops. Arrange chops on 4 plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

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.
