Lamb Chops With Sorrel Sauce Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
• Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

LAMB CHOPS WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the fat from the chops and wipe them dry with paper towels. Chop the sorrel into thin strips.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the lamb chops so that they are brown on both sides and pink in the middle. Place them on two dinner plates and keep warm.
• Drain off the fat and wipe the pan with paper towel. Add one tablespoon butter and saute the sorrel until wilted. Add the white wine and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the cream and cook for another three minutes. Add the lemon juice to taste and stir in the remaining butter gradually, so that the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the lamb chops and serve.

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC-ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop garlic. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear lamb 3 minutes. Turn lamb over and sear 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to 4 plates. Add garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, and stock to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Whisk in butter. Pour sauce over lamb.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the vegetable oil and a tablespoon of the butter in a large frying pan. Saute the chops on both sides until they are browned and pink in the middle. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
• Pour off the fat from the frying pan. Add the chopped sorrel leaves and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the wine and cook over high heat for three minutes or until you have a thick puree. Add the cream and remaining butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Put the veal chops on four heated plates. Spoon the sauce next to them and sprinkle it with the shredded sorrel leaves.
