Apricot Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat using the direct heat method.
• Whisk together the jam, vinegar, mint, parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the chops with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the chops on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 minutes. Flip over, brush with glaze and continue cooking until cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 3 minutes longer, brushing with more of the glaze.
• Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the pistachios, sumac and parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the lamb evenly with the garlic salt and pepper, warm a large non-stick pan (with a lid for use later) over a medium heat until hot, add the lamb and brown on both sides.
• Add the stock and the apricots to a medium pan, over a high heat, and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the apricots are very soft.
• Reserve half of the apricots and set aside.
• Transfer the other half of the apricots and all of the stock to a blender or food processor, add the vinegar, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and nutmeg, and blend to make the sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the lamb, sprinkle the reserved apricots over the lamb and, over a low heat, simmer the lamb for 10-15 minutes or until the lamb is cooked through.
