Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Marsala wine
- 0.5 cup beef or chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the lamb chops evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the shallots and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the cremini mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the broth and let it cook for another 2 minutes before adding the heavy cream. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.
Return the lamb chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chops simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until they are cooked to your preferred doneness.
Turn off the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Lamb Chops Marsala with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed greens.
