Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops (bone-in)
- 3 tablespoons Coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced thinly)
Instructions
Toast the coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind them coarsely using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and the ground coriander and cumin mixture. Make sure the seasoning evenly coats all sides of the lamb.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side until a crust forms. Lower the heat and cook the chops to your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F, medium is about 145°F). Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb cooks, prepare the spiced orange hoisin sauce. In a small saucepan, combine hoisin sauce, orange juice, orange zest, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, drizzle the spiced orange hoisin sauce over the lamb chops. Sprinkle with sliced scallions for a fresh and vibrant finish. Serve immediately.
