Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 cup red wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 large onion
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix ground allspice, ground cinnamon, and fresh rosemary. Rub this spice mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Finely chop the onion.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the lamb chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced garlic and chopped onion until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the beef broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Return the lamb chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low, and let the lamb chops braise in the wine sauce for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the lamb chops and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the lamb chops hot with the wine sauce spooned over them. Pair with Lebanese rice or flatbread for a complete meal.
