BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR LAMB CHOPS

I cannot get enough of my Omaha Steaks balsamic brown sugar lamb chops.  In fact, if someone told me I had to eat this dish for three months straight, I would personally thank them!

MY LOVE FOR LAMB CHOPS

I have been a lamb lover for as long as I can remember, which isn’t that long honestly considering that my family could not get me to try lamb until I was a teenager. Lamb just seemed so strange to me back then. I didn’t want it near me. It wasn’t until I was completely tricked one Christmas (the same thing happened to me with venison) when my Uncle B.B. made lamb shanks bathed in the most sensational gravy. I had no idea what it was and no one told me. After polishing it off, my family told what I just ate, and I’ve been eating lamb ever since.

SAUCE FOR LAMB CHOPS

The inspiration for these lamb chops came from wanting something sweet mixed with savory.
Brown sugar is such a perfect complement especially when paired with balsamic vinegar. They really bring out the intensity of the dish, not that these chops need anything extra since they come from Omaha Steaks and are pretty darn perfect regardless.

HOW TO COOK LAMB CHOPS

For this lamb chop recipe, you must sear the lamb chops in a pan with olive oil over medium high heat on your stove top. Let the pan get hot and season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper before beginning the searing process. It shouldn’t take any more than two minutes on each side to sear the chops. Once seared, let chops rest and turn the heat down to medium low. Next, add minced garlic to the pan and cook it for one minute. Then, add the chops back to the pan after you’ve created your lamb chop sauce. Continue to cook the lamb chops until your desired doneness.

I will be rolling out this recipe for entertaining and maybe for my anniversary along with my easy homemade garlic bread recipe, southern baked macaroni and cheese, fried corn, jollof rice or red beans and rice. It is the perfect dish for a special occasion, and like I said, the flavor is out of this world decadent.
