GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH CURRY, APPLE AND RAISIN SAUCE



Grilled Lamb Chops with Curry, Apple and Raisin Sauce image

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.

Provided by Sweet Pickles Mom

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indian

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons white pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ lemon (including peel), seeded and finely chopped
3 cups apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup applesauce
⅔ cup dark raisins
⅔ cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon water, if needed
6 (4 ounce) lamb chops
1 teaspoon seasoned salt

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.

Provided by smoke alarm jr

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
2/3 cup boiling water
1 cup water
1/2-3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • For the cake: Mix the first 5 dry ingredients together and set aside.
  • Beat Crisco and sugar until well blended.
  • Add molasses and beat well.
  • Add eggs one at a time beating well between each one.
  • Add half of flour mixture and mix well.
  • Add 1/3 cup of boiling water and mix well.
  • Add the rest of the dry and mix well.
  • Add rest of boiling water and mix well.
  • Pour cake batter in a greased 8X8 baking pan and cook for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • For the sauce: Add the warm water and raisins in small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Soak the raisins before using. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of spices. Common spices used in raisin sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. You can also add a splash of red wine or port for extra flavor.
  • Cook the sauce slowly. This will help to develop the flavors and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Strain the sauce before serving. This will remove any bits of skin or seeds from the raisins.

Conclusion:

Raisin sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to add a touch of sweetness and complexity to a variety of dishes. It is especially popular with pork, chicken, and lamb, but it can also be used with vegetables, fruits, and even desserts. With its rich flavor and easy preparation, raisin sauce is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your next meal.
