Lamb Chops With Green Mash Recipes

Lamb chops cooked with tomatoes is traditional, but less so when the tomatoes are green. Here, unripe, green tomatoes add acidity, which works nicely with the rich gaminess of the shoulder chops. If you can't get green tomatoes, you can make this with the half-green, half-red tomatoes, the kind that haven't fully ripened on the vine before they need to be picked in advance of a frost. In a pinch you can even use tomatillos or bland, out-of-season supermarket tomatoes, which will add the necessary juiciness and vegetable matter to the pan if not the same complexity of flavor (a squeeze of lemon would help). In any case, make sure to taste before stirring in the honey, since the acid content of tomatoes varies widely. And if you aren't a lamb lover but are wondering what to do with a plethora of green tomatoes, you can make this recipe with pork chops; just add a few minutes to the cooking time.

This is a lovely lamb dish. It is so tasty and simple, the mash really complements the flavours of the lamb. I prefer my lamb quite pink, but feel free to cook it to your own liking. My only concern would be that the glaze might caramalise a bit too much.
