Lamb Chops Indienne Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the spices, ginger, garlic paste, and water in a bowl.
• Trim the lamb chops and marinate in the spice mixture for 30 minutes.
• In a pressure cooker, saute the onions and tomatoes. Then add the marinated lamb chops and cook slowly on a low flame for 10 whistles until well done and tender.
• Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the pressure cooker and set aside to cool.
• Reduce the remaining liquid in the cooker to form a thick sauce.
• Just before serving, grill the lamb chops on a hot griddle with sesame oil. Baste generously with the reduced sauce and serve hot.

Steps:

• Marinade: Combine all the ingredients and spread evenly over the lamb cutlets.
• Allow to marinade at least one hour in refrigerator.
• Heat the barbecue and place the cutlets on an oiled flatplate or grill.
• Cook for 5 minutes, turn and cook for a further 5.
• Nice served with a mango chutney.

Steps:

• Marinate the chops in the lime juice, vinegar, chilli powder and a pinch of salt while you make the rest of the marinade.
• Heat 100ml of the oil in a small saucepan and add the gram flour, stirring continuously for a minute or two until the flour forms a smooth sandy paste and you begin to smell a nutty aroma. Transfer the paste to a bowl and leave to cool.
• Crush the star anise using a pestle and mortar, then tip into a food processor with the chillies, garlic, papaya and the remaining oil and blend to a smooth paste. Mix both pastes over the marinated meat and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
• To cook the chops, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Lift the chops out of the marinade and wipe off any excess so the chops are just lightly coated. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the chops in batches for a couple of minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a roasting tray and roast for 10-20 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Serve the chops with mint sauce and winter salad.
