Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Redcurrant jelly
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Rinse the lamb chops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and finely chop them along with the thyme.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make a herb marinade.
Rub the herb marinade evenly over both sides of each lamb chop. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and let them rest under foil for 5 minutes.
While the lamb chops are resting, prepare the redcurrant sauce. In the same skillet, combine the redcurrant jelly, balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken stock over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and has a glossy texture, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the butter for a silky finish.
Plate the lamb chops and drizzle the redcurrant sauce generously over them. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
