Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the lamb chops with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside to rest, loosely covered with foil.
While the lamb rests, peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.
In a clean skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, ground cayenne pepper, and lemon juice until the mixture is well-combined and bubbling.
Add the bananas to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and coated in the spiced butter mixture. Be gentle to avoid breaking the bananas.
To serve, arrange two lamb chops on each plate alongside the deviled bananas. Drizzle any extra sauce from the banana skillet over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your unique sweet and savory dish!
