I couldn't resist the purchase of Australian Lamb Chops! So...RYAN, RYAN, RYYYYYYYYYAAAAANNNNNN!! Quick, help!! What are some simple ways to prepare these chops?
I'm afraid to look for any recipes that might me too "froo, froo" since Ingrid is very, very hesitant to try anything new. I have the typical salt, pepper, onions, tomato, garlic, dried herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary and fresh mint (still growing in it's cinderblock planter, I'm SO proud of it!!)
Would it be alright just lightly fried in olive oil with salt, pepper, and a sprinkling of mint?? Thanks Aussie Friend!!
Edited to add results:
What I ended up doing with my lovely lamb chops....I DID lightly fry them. I had five, so used about 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter into a heated cast iron skillet. Med-high heat, and when I could smell the olive oil bloom, added the chops. I'd rubbed them with fresh ground sea salt and black pepper while waiting on the oil to heat. Fried for 3-4 minutes, then turned them and added sliced onion. Fried 3-4 minutes more then onto the serving platter they went. I garnished with fresh mint. (Have I said before that I love my mint plant??
) LOL
We stayed very simple, this was the first time for my niece to have lamb. I haven't had it since I was a child, so was a bit leery of my own cooking.
I made Jasmine rice as a side, and we had mango slices. Served the lamb on a bed of rice, with a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. Yummy, yummy, in our tummies!
I'll still expect some helpful mutton recipes though. Our local store is carrying quite a bit right now (Easter??) and I'm trying to expand our diets.
