SLOW-COOKED LAMB CHOPS WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil together in an ovenproof frying pan. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary.
• Season the lamb with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry on both sides until brown, before transferring to a baking dish. Add the halved garlic heads.
• Heat the wine in a small saucepan and pour over the lamb. Cover with foil and cook in the oven to for 1½ hours.
• Remove the lamb and garlic halves from the pan and keep warm.
• Strain the wine into a saucepan, squeezing the juices from the rosemary and garlic skins.
• Combine the flour with the remaining butter. Heat the wine and juices and stir in the flour and butter mixture, a little at a time.
• Cook until the sauce is smooth and thick. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and serve the lamb chops straight away with the sauce poured over.

CHICKEN FRIED LAMB WITH WHITE WINE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• For the lamb: Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour in a pie pan and mix in the garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Place the eggs in a separate pie pan and beat. Dredge the meat on both sides in the egg, and then the flour. Repeat with all the meat pieces. (Reserve the remaining flour for the pan gravy.) Place the meat on a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
• Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes on each side. Remove the lamb to a wire rack set in a half sheet pan and place in the oven to stay warm while the other pieces are being prepared. Repeat until all the meat is browned.
• For the gravy: Add the vegetable oil to the pan. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan and reduce by half. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour. Then whisk in the Dijon mustard and the vegetable stock. Continue to whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and thyme and whisk until the gravy coats the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve over the lamb steaks.

LAMB BRAISED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and add a dash of olive oil. Put the garlic and rosemary (or thyme) in the pan and fry for a few minutes on a low heat to flavour the oil and butter. Using a slotted spoon, remove the herbs and garlic and set aside.
• Season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper. Fry the lamb to brown it on both sides. Add the halves of garlic and allow them to colour slightly in the pan. Transfer everything to a roasting tin, along with the reserved herbs and sliced garlic.
• Heat the wine in a small saucepan and then pour it over the lamb. Cover the tin with foil and place in the oven to cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until the meat is meltingly tender.
• Once cooked, remove the meat, cover and keep warm. Set the garlic halves aside too. If the liquid doesn't look thick enough for a sauce, strain the wine and cooking juices into a saucepan, squeezing the juices from the rosemary and garlic skins.
• Simmer the juices until thickened. To thicken the sauce even more, you can mix together equal quantities of flour and butter in a small bowl. Whisk this mixture into the sauce and cook until the taste of flour is removed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the lamb with the baked garlic, mashed potatoes and the sauce poured over.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chops, seasoned with salt and pepper, flattening them occasionally with a metal spatula, for 4 minutes on each side for medium meat. Transfer the chops with a slotted spatula to a small platter and keep them warm, covered loosely with foil.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and in the remaining fat cook the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until it is pale golden. Add the onion and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and the soy sauce and cook the mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, until the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated. Add the vinegar and boil the mixture until the liquid is evaporated. Add the wine and the thyme and boil the mixture until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Stir the cornstarch mixture, add it to the skillet, and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, spoon it over the chops, and sprinkle the chops with the parsley.

LAMB SHANK BRAISED IN WHITE WINE WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shanks to hot pan, and brown all sides; this should take about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and add garlic to the pan; cook for 30 to 40 seconds. Stir in onion, and continue cooking until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Return shanks to the pan, and season with 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Pour in wine, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer until the shanks are very tender when pierced with a knife, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Turn once or twice during cooking, and add water as necessary to maintain original level of liquid. Serve shanks garnished with rosemary sprigs.

SEARED LAMB CHOPS WITH A GOAT CHEESE WHITE WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to broil.
• Next chop fresh rosemary and line up the rest of your ingredients.
• Heat a cast iron skillet on high heat. You will know when the skillet is ready by flicking a tiny bit of water on the pan, if it sizzles, it is ready!
• Pat each side of the meat with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Add sea salt to one side of the lamb, and place salt side down into the skillet.
• Sear chops for 2-3 minutes and then flip, adding pepper to the other side.
• Sear other side for 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle chopped rosemary onto chops and transfer the entire skillet to the broiler. Broil about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove skillet from oven and relocate lamp chops to another dish.
• In the now empty cast iron skillet, add white wine (you will want to use a crisp white, such as a Sauvignon Blanc). Stir and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken broth and one sprig of rosemary. Let simmer at a low boil, till reduced by 1/3.
• Remove and discard the rosemary. Swirl in the goat cheese to create a creamy sauce.
• Place the lamb chops on a plate and drizzle with the reduction sauce. Serve immediately while sauce is liquified (it liquifies fast). Enjoy!

LAMB CHOPS WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• 1 In a skillet large enough to hold the chops comfortably in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pat the chops dry. Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, then place them in the pan. Cook until the chops are browned, about 4 minutes. Scatter the garlic and rosemary around the meat. Using tongs, turn the chops and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate. 2 Add the wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, scraping up and blending in the browned bits in the bottom of the pan, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. 3 Return the chops to the pan and cook them 2 minutes more, turning them in the sauce once or twice until rosy pink when cut near the bone. Transfer the chops to a platter, pour the pan juices over the chops, and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
