For people who want to learn how to cook lamb chops, they have different options available. To accomplish such task, they can try various kinds of appetizing treats such as Orange Lamb Chops and Apple Lamb Chops. These unique and yummy treats are quite simple to do, easy to prepare and very satisfying to the taste.
Orange Lamb Chops
Ingredients
Perfect for people who barely have the time to cook, Orange Lamb Chops can be done in a little less than an hour’s time of cooking. The ingredients are very easy to find. It needs at least 3-ounces of sliced mushrooms, a tablespoon of olive oil and ½-teaspoon of dried and crumbled leaf thyme. Furthermore, this dish also needs ¼-cup orange juice, ½-teaspoon of orange zest and at least 6-pieces of shoulder lamb chops. Estimated cooking time is set at more or less 50 minutes.
Steps
Take the fat off the chops. In a nice clean plate, simply mix the thyme with the orange juice and orange zest. Pour this special mixture over the chops. Leave the dish for as much as three hours inside the fridge. For richer taste, make sure that the chops are fully covered with sauce. Set the stove in medium-high heat. Place a large skillet on top of it. Put some olive oil and wait until it heats up. Fry the meat until the chops acquire a brownish texture. When this happens, simply turn the heat level to medium-low. Pour the orange mixture as well as the mushrooms. Simmer the dish for around 30 minutes or so. Make sure that the skillet is covered. After that, remove the cover and wait for at least five minutes more. Serve and enjoy.
Apple Lamb Chops
Ingredients
For an irresistible dish with a fruity flavor, this one takes at least an hour and 15 minutes to accomplish. Important ingredients include ½-cup apple juice, 1½-cups of beef broth and a tablespoon of flour. Additionally, procure four pieces of fresh apples, cut, cored and peeled. Slice thinly four medium-sized onions. Add eight pieces of red potatoes, each of which must be thinly sliced. Also part of the mix is 2-tablespoons butter and at least 4 pieces of lamb chops.
Steps
Turn the stove into medium heat. Place the skillet on top of it and then add the butter. Wait until the chops acquire a brownish color. Get a nice clean baking dish and put the meat on it. Using the same skillet, cook the onions and potatoes. Pour this mixture inside the dish as well. Add some pepper and salt to the dish, depending on the preferred taste. Top the dish with thin apple slices.
Going back to the skillet, add flour into the drippings. Cook, wait and stir until the mixture turns into medium brown in color. Add the broth and wait until boiling point. Pour in the apple juice to give the dish a relatively sweet and pleasant taste. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Place it inside a 375 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven. Wait for at least an hour to cook and then serve.
