LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION



Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction image

This recipe for lamb chops is a favorite in my house. It is an easy and quick recipe for two people (we eat two chops each). Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. If you double the recipe, remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
4 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup minced shallots
⅓ cup aged balsamic vinegar
¾ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
  • Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

Lamb Chops With Balsamic-Herb Glaze image

"Good things come in small packages" and that applies in a sense to recipes with very few ingredients. Original recipe specified rosemary but I leave it up to you to decide. Boiling the pan juices creates a delectable sweet-glossy glaze. Use a good quality balsamic vinegar, please! From Cooking Pleasures.

LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND ONIONS



Lamb Chops with Balsamic Vinegar and Onions image

Categories     Lamb     Onion     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large lamb loin chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
4 small garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons currants
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

Steps:

  • Season both sides of lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb to skillet. Sprinkle onions over lamb. Cook until lamb is brown, stirring onions occasionally, about 7 minutes. Turn lamb chops and cook on second sides until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to platter; cover with foil and keep warm.
  • Add garlic to onions in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Stir in currants and sauté 1 minute longer. Add remaining ingredients and boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon onion mixture over lamb chops.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a deep red color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside 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. For medium-well, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and prevent the chops from drying out.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops with balsamic vinegar and onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the balsamic vinegar and onions add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
