Marlo Thomass Creole Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preparation for Creole Lamb Chops with port Wine Demi:
• In a saucepan, over medium heat, sweat the garlic with the butter, and then add the port wine. Reduce by 1/4. Once the wine has reduced, stir in 4 cups of the veal stock and the 3-pepper blend. Reduce again by 1/4. Once the reduction is finished, strain through a fine mesh strainer and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large container, combine the jerk seasoning with the balsamic vinegar and immerse the lamb. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lamb from the marinade, and blacken in a dry, white, hot cast iron skillet. Once the lamb has blackened on all sides, rest and allow to cool completely.
• With a sharp chef's knife remove the fat cap from he blackened lamb and cut the rack into 4 equal portions.
• Place the lamb portions into a saute pan with the remaining veal stock and roast in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes depending on desired doneness. Reheat port wine demi and serve with potato puree and seasonal vegetables, if desired.

Steps:

• Sprinkle a heavy frying pan with salt; brown the chops on both sides and put them in a casserole.
• Wipe out the skillet with a paper napkin or towel; put in the oil and heat.
• Add the onions and green pepper.
• Brown lightly; then add tomatoes and seasonings.
• Stir the mixture well; simmer for a few minutes and then pour it over the lamb chops.
• Bake tightly covered for an hour in a preheated 350F oven.
