Diabetic Friendly Lamb Mains

Lamb Chops with Garlic-Rosemary Sauce

Besides the complete and total disaster that was Thanksgiving dinner of 2007, in which Mark and I tried to roast a twelve-pound turkey on a cookie sheet, I don’t recall ever cooking many meats in my kitchen besides chicken, beef or pork. I mean, those are pretty all-encompassing meats… you can do a lot with them. But, as I’ve grown up, my palate has also done a little growing up, and I decided it was about time to leave my comfort zone and introduce a new meat to our dinner table. So, I went on a quest to the store looking for something, but not sure what. I guess it was just my luck that, yesterday only, a package of four lamb chops was on sale for four dollars. Bingo!

I had never cooked lamb, so I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t get it right the first time. Much to my surprise, though, it couldn’t have been easier! The lamb was perfectly pink and tender after only six minutes of pan-searing, and the garlic-rosemary butter sauce drizzled over the meat made it ever more moist and mouthwateringly “mmm.”

Similar to when you’re pan-searing beef, you should always pat the lamb dry to soak up excess moisture and get that nice brown color. I served it with some roasted potatoes and sautéed zucchini. Otherwise, the photo pretty much speaks for itself – Look at what you can do with a few chops, some basic ingredients, and just six minutes!

Lamb Chops with Garlic-Rosemary Sauce

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 lamb loin chops
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons crushed rosemary, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Pat lamb dry and season with salt, pepper and 1 tbsp. crushed rosemary. In a large skillet or cast iron pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, and sear lamb 3 minutes. Turn lamb over and sear 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to 4 plates.

Add garlic, 2 tbsp. rosemary, lemon juice, and stock to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits for 2 minutes. Whisk in butter. Pour sauce over lamb, or serve on the side in small individual bowls.

Serve with roasted potatoes and a sautéed vegetable, such as asparagus or zucchini.

Enjoy!

    Not to be Li’l Miss Fussypants, but your picture above has lamb loin chops but the recipe lists lamb shoulder chops. To think about this in more familiar beef-y terms, you made a T-bone and the recipe listed a London Broil. I know some people get all scared when they can’t follow a recipe exactly. Personally, I think lamb loin chops are way yummier!

    Thanks for catching that, Taimi! The recipe has been corrected to note that they were loin chops.

    Thank you for the easy and tasty recipe. I added cream to the sauce to counter some of the tartness for my husband’s taste buds. We were quite pleased with the dish. I will definitely cook this again.

    Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring
    writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

    Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
    there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations?
    Thanks a lot!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and
    was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming
    having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
