Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
While the lamb chops are resting, peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Finely dice the red onion and mince the ginger.
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the diced mango, onion, ginger, red chili flakes, ground cinnamon, white vinegar, brown sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and the chutney thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly while preparing the lamb chops.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium.
Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops with a generous spoonful of mango chutney on top or on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
