Lamb Chops With Prune Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Cut lamb into 2-inch cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and brown in a large skillet over medium-high heat; remove.
• Add onion, garlic, prunes, ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper; cook until fragrant. Add wine, stock or water and browned lamb. When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Garnish: Parsley.

Steps:

• For the chops: In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, salt, pepper, hot sauce and orange zest. Rub the mixture on all sides of the lamb chops. Place on a plate or baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with some of the olive oil. Flip the chops and drizzle some on the other side. Rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Heat a grill to medium high. Place the chops over direct heat and grill just 1 to 2 minutes on one side. Flip, grilling just 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a clean baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.
• For the chutney: Place the orange sections in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes and flesh into a separate medium bowl. Add the marmalade, parsley, Worcestershire, hot sauce and scallion to the juice. Taste and season the sauce with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Pour over the orange sections in the large bowl and gently toss to coat. Serve over the rested lamb chops.

Steps:

• To make chutney, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and shallots and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until evaporated. Add stock, cranberries, prunes, 1 teaspoon of the chopped rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until shallots are tender and liquid is reduced by three quarters, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
• Season lamb chops with salt, pepper, and the remaining chopped rosemary. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops, and saute until brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until a meat thermometer reads 110 degrees (for medium rare) and chops are evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Garnish lamb with rosemary sprigs, and serve with the chutney.

Steps:

• Stir together persimmons, onion, ginger, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt and let stand at room temperature while cooking lamb chops.
• Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops about 9 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer chops with tongs to a cutting board or plate and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 3 minutes before serving.
• Serve lamb chops with persimmon chutney.

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. To make the chutney, combine lime juice, garlic, ginger, chile, yoghurt, and sugar in a food processor and puree. Stir in the mint leaves by hand, then add salt and pepper.
• Grill the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, by which time they will be medium-rare, or until they reach the desired degree of doneness.
• Serve the lamb chops hot with the cool chutney.
