Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup orzo pasta
1 cup white rice
2 pinches saffron threads
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
1 to 2 large pomegranates or 1 cup store-bought pomegranate juice
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
6 peppercorns
3 whole cloves
1 fresh bay leaf
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
12 rib lamb chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 pound farm spinach (available in bundles rather than bags in produce section), washed and dried
Freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and arrange the oven rack 8 inches from the broiler.
  • Heat a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, then add the orzo and stir. Toast the pasta until golden brown, 3 minutes, then add the rice and stir to combine. Add the saffron threads and stir in the stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Cook the rice until tender, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roll the pomegranate on the counter while applying pressure for a minute. Hold the pomegranate over a small pot and cut into it with a small sharp knife; the juice will come rushing out. Squeeze the pomegranate until 3/4 to 1 cup of juice is produced. Stir in the wine, Worcestershire, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and reduce the liquid by half, about 6 minutes. Pour a little sauce into a small bowl, stir in the cornstarch, and then pour the mixture into the sauce. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove and discard the peppercorns, whole cloves and the bay leaf.
  • Arrange the chops on a broiler pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or only 1 minute on each side for pink centers.
  • When the chops go into the broiler, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 2 minutes, then add the spinach and let it wilt. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, to taste.
  • Arrange 3 chops on each serving plate. Drizzle with pomegranate sauce, and serve the saffron pilaf and wilted spinach alongside.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS IN POMEGRANATE MARINATED



Grilled Lamb Chops in Pomegranate Marinated image

I use Cortas Pomegranate juice which is very thick like molasses but no sugar is added in the cooking of it. It's just concentrated Pomegranate juice. I purchased it in a Greek store but also seen it on line. It gives the lamb a slightly sweet tangy taste.

LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND PORT WINE SAUCE



Lamb Chops With Rosemary and Port Wine Sauce image

I don't remember where I found this recipe, but I have been preparing it for years and never follow a recipe. All measurements are approximate. I generally serve this with a white and wild rice mix, or couscous. It also goes well with hot buttered noodles.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lamb chops, round bone shoulder chops
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaf, preferred
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup ruby port
4 ounces heavy cream
cooked couscous or cooked noodles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Season the both sides of the chops with salt, pepper and garlic. Press seasoning into the meat with your fingers.
  • Heat a heavy skillet and heat olive oil and butter until the butter stops foaming. Add the rosemary leaves and the lamb chops to the hot pan.
  • Pan sear the chops over high heat to brown on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to an ovenproof dish, cover loosely with foil and place in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes to keep warm.
  • Keeping the skillet over medium high heat, deglaze with the port and scrape up any "crunchy bits". Reduce the wine by half and stir in the heavy cream. Return the sauce to a boil and reduce for a couple minutes, until the cream coats the back of your spoon.
  • Serve the chops with rice, couscous or buttered noodles and spoon the sauce over.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help to keep the chops moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Grill the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a flavorful sauce or relish: This will help to complement the rich flavor of the lamb and add an extra layer of flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops with pomegranate port reduction is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the pomegranate port reduction adds a sweet and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the lamb.
