Mandarin Orange Oriental Sauce Lamb Chops With Red Pepper Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Drain the can of mandarin oranges reserving the liquid for use (will yield about 1 cup of liquid). Put oranges in a bowl & set aside. Drain the 4 individual cups (will yield about 1 cup) of oranges. Put oranges from cups in another bowl. Marinade/Sauce preparation: Put 8 green onions on a hot grill (350-400 degrees) and char about 3-5 minutes. Put the onions and drained oranges from the can on cutting board and finely chop/mince. (Can put in food processor for about 2 minutes.) Put chopped mixture in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of canola oil, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper and blend. Lamb Chop Preparation: Use 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper to coat both sides of the lamb chops. Put chops in a shallow pie plate. Remove ¼ cup of the onion/orange mixture and coat the lamb chops. Let them marinade as you finish making the sauce. Making Sauce: Put ½ cup oil in a saucepan over burner on medium high. Add garlic, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and sauté about 2 minutes. Add remaining onion/orange chopped mixture, marmalade jam, ½ tsp Korean sweet and spicy sauce, and let it come to a boil for about 7-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce. Stir occasionally. Meanwhile, make the garnish and grill the lamb chops. Making Garnish: Put the drained oranges from the 4 individual cups in a skillet coated with cooking spray. Sauté on a medium high burner about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Chiffonade slice the remaining green onions and add to the oranges. Remove from blaze. Set aside for plating. Grilling Lamb Chops: Coat grill with cooking spray. Heat to 400 to 450 degrees. Cook lamb chops about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and let rest about 5 minutes. Noodles: Prepare noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss in about ½+ cup of the warm thickened sauce and 1 tbl (taste to see if more is needed for spiciness) of the Korean sweet & spicy sauce. Serve & watch your guests experience nirvana!

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Rub both sides of the lamb chops with 3/4 teaspoon each dried rosemary and coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Place the lamb on a broiler pan; broil until the chops are browned, turning once, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Stir in the bell pepper, mint, and scallion. Serve the lamb chops warm, with the sauce spooned over the top.
• Steamed Zucchini with Scallions
• ln a large skillet with just enough water to cover the bottom (about 1/4 cup). Add 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Add the zucchini. Cook, covered, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, and transfer to a medium bowl. Drizzle the zucchini with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the scallions, and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.

Steps:

• Mince shallot. Place in small bowl. Cover with 2 1/2 tablespoons of the vinegar add a pinch of salt and set aside. Trim the ends of the radishes. Thinly slice on a mandoline. Arrange slices on a platter. Season all over with salt. Cut off each end of each orange and squeeze over the radishes, then discard. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the orange. Cut in between membranes to remove each slice. Squeeze remaining membrane all over the radishes to extract any juice. Scatter oranges over the radishes. Scatter pumpkin seeds and goat cheese to taste over the radishes and oranges. Pour macerated shallots and vinegar over top. Drizzle olive oil to taste (one to two tablespoons) over top. Scatter chives over top and let sit a few minutes (or longer - it benefits from a brief rest) before serving. http://www.not-too-sweet.com/radish-orange-goat-cheese-salad/
