GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH CURRY, APPLE AND RAISIN SAUCE
Personally, I have never been a lamb eater. However, this recipe for grilled lamb chops is superb. The lamb is succulent and the sauce is such a flavor combination you will want to make this frequently. This is a recipe for those people who don't even like lamb -- as it made a true convert out of me. It is a great sauce for beef and poultry as well, with a definite East Indian flavor.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with olive oil, and cook the onions and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in curry powder, coriander, cumin, salt, white pepper, thyme, lemon, apples, applesauce, dark raisins, and golden raisins until thoroughly combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, turn down the heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer the sauce until it has the consistency of applesauce and the raisins are plump and starting to break apart, about 1 hour. Mix in a tablespoon of water if sauce starts to become too thick.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Sprinkle the lamb chops with seasoned salt.
- Grill on the preheated grate until the chops are well-browned, cooked to your desired color of pink inside, and show grill marks, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop, not touching bone, should read about 145 degrees C (65 degrees C). Serve the lamb chops with the sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Opt for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that have a lot of sinew or fat.
- Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, garlic, and herb marinade is a good option.
- Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to sear the chops and create a nice crust. Be careful not to overcook the chops, as they can quickly become tough.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the lamb chops with a flavorful sauce: A curry apple and raisin sauce is a great option, but you can also use a variety of other sauces, such as a mint sauce or a red wine sauce.
