Pakistani Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown lamb chops on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Stir in green cardamom, black cardamom, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and cumin seeds until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; cook until onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Mix in chile powder, turmeric, and salt; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add browned lamb, water, tomatoes, and chile peppers. Simmer over low heat until lamb is tender and all water has evaporated and onions have disintegrated into a thick gravy, about 40 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, black pepper, and garam masala in a shallow dish large enough to hold the chops. Mix well. Rub this marinade on both sides of the chops, cover, and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
• Just before eating, preheat the broiler and set a rack 4-5 inches from the source of heat.
• Put the chops, with any marinade that clings to them easily, in a baking tray, brush both sides with oil, and place under broiler. Broil 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. If the chops are an inch thick they will still be pink inside, the way I like them. If you want them more done, put them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops and the doneness desired.
