Ingredients
The ingredients that create the amazing sauce for these lamb chops are the following:
- Garlic
- Brown Sugar
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Cayenne
Brown sugar is such a perfect complement especially when paired with balsamic vinegar. They really bring out the intensity of the dish. Garlic is always sensational for flavor, and I love adding it to everything I can!
Finally the hint of cayenne in this sauce adds a nice spice to break up the sweetness. It is delicious. If you can’t handle spice, you can omit.
How to Make the Best Lamb Chops
For this lamb chop recipe, you must sear the lamb chops in a pan with olive oil over higher 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
Tip: Make sure you pat the lamb chops dry to remove any moisture so you will get a lovely sear!
It shouldn’t take any more thantwo 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.
How to Serve
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 dishfor a special occasion, and like I said, the flavor is out of this world decadent.
How to Store and Reheat
To store leftovers, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate the chops and enjoy them within 3 days for the best flavor and safety.
When reheating the lamb chops, gently warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through, ensuring they retain their moisture and flavor.
