Hunan Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (high heat).
• Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Sherry, chili oil, rice vinegar, and finely chopped garlic to blend in shallow dish; mix in 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions.
• Add lamb and turn to coat.
• Let marinate 20 minutes.
• Brush grill rack with oil.
• Grill lamb to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Sprinkle lamb with remaining green onions and serve.

Steps:

• To make the Soy and Ginger Marinade: in a bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until well blended.
• For the lamb: Wrap the chop bones with aluminum foil. (This will minimize the exposure of bones to the marinade and prevent the bones from turning black during the grilling process.) Marinate the racks of lamb for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Over high heat, grill the racks of lamb until nicely marked and golden brown in color. Remove the aluminum foil covering the lamb bones. Transfer to a preheated oven to finish cooking to medium rare or desired doneness.
• Cut each rack of lamb into 4 double chop pieces. Serve on a bed of Hunan Style Eggplant, with half the Miso and Plum Sauce drizzled over with Cilantro and Mint Vinaigrette. Garnish with julienne green onions and sprigs of cilantro.
• In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Blanch the garlic slices for 30 seconds. Drain. Transfer to a baking tray and allow to cool.
• Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 360 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the 3 types of soy sauces. Reserve. In a wok or large saute pan, over high heat, add the peanut oil. Stir-fry the blanched garlic until golden brown. Add the sugar and continue to stir-fry until garlic is well coated. Add the chili paste. Deglaze with rice wine and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Reduce until slightly thickened. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes.
• Combine the cornstarch and the water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir in the slurry and boil the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking all the while, to prevent scorching. Add some water if sauce is too thick. Lower to a simmer.
• Deep-fry the eggplant until tender and golden in color. Drain off excess oil. Bring sauce back to a boil and stir in fried eggplant. Lower heat to a simmer and allow sauce to reduce and thicken. Serve immediately.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut oil. Over medium heat, add the garlic, shallots, ginger and green onions and saute until glossy and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in star anise and black peppercorns. Continue to saute until aromatic, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Deglaze with the plum, port and red wines. Reduce until only about 1 cup of liquid remains. Add the lamb demi-glace and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Continue to simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in the raspberry puree, red miso paste and neriume. Continue to reduce until glossy.
• Stir in the butter. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. If too tart, add a pinch of sugar. Strain through a chinois and keep warm until needed.
• In a small bowl combine the mustard powder and the water and stir to make a paste and set aside. In a blender, combine the cilantro, mint, egg yolk, peanuts, cashews, lemon juice, pickled ginger, vinegar, and reconstituted mustard. Process to a puree. While the motor is running, slowly add the peanut oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. Refrigerate until needed. Use half of the vinaigrette for the lamb and reserve half for the salmon.

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper and massage the marinade into meat for 5 to 10 minutes. Let marinate 4 to 6 hours in refrigerator.
• Broil to perfection (about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare, or to your liking.)

Steps:

• FOR LAMB:
• Mix oil, 2 tablespoons hoisin, wine, garlic, ginger and red pepper in medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until warm, about 4 minutes. Cool. Place lamb in glass baking dish. Pour marinade over. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain lamb; pat dry. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Add 1 lamb rack; sear on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to baking pan. Repeat with remaining rack. Cool 15 minutes. Mix chili sauce and 8 tablespoons hoisin in small bowl. Brush over lamb. Press nuts onto lamb, coating completely. Bake until meat thermometer registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes. Transfer to platter. Tent with foil.
• MEANWHILE, PREPARE SAUCE:
• Boil stock and wine in large skillet until reduced 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Add chili sauce and hoisin; boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter; whisk just until melted.
• Cut lamb between ribs into double chops. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking; saute garlic and ginger until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add pork to wok; cook and stir until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the same wok over medium-high heat; saute chile peppers until well-coated with oil and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork to chile peppers and generously season with salt. Cook and stir mixture until peppers are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Mix enough soy sauce into pork mixture to add color and taste for desired saltiness.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow the lamb to stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.
