Juicy lamb chops equals a tasty dinner!
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- (1 teaspoon) salt
- (1/2 teaspoon) ground black pepper
- (4) Lamb, Chop, Blade
- (2 tablespoons) Pork Fat (Unrendered Lard)
- (1/4 cup) dark brown sugar or granulated maple sugar
- (1/4 cup) apple cider vinegar
- (1/2 teaspoon) ground ginger
- (1/2) orange, unpeeled, cut into 4 thin slices
- (1) leamon, unpeeled, quartered
- (1 tablespoon) cornstarch or arrowroot
- (1 tablespoon) ice water
Directions
- Combine salt and pepper, and rub into lamb chops.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over a medium flame and grease it with TF lard. Add the chops and, making sure there is one inch of space around each, brown them for two minutes on each side. Work in batches if necessary.
- Whisk together the sugar, vinegar, and ginger; pour over meat. Top each chop with an orange slice and a lemon wedge. Cover and simmer over low heat until the chops are fork-tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
- Pour the pan juices into a measuring cup, add enough water to make 1 cup, then return the liquid to the skillet. Turn the heat on low.
- Mix the cornstarch or arrowroot with the ice water until smooth and add the juices in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens. Pour over the chops.
