For a sumptuous supper, try this quick and tasty lamb chop recipe.
Ingredients
- 12 lamb chops, as lean as possible (you can use either Barnsley chop, neck chop or standard chops)
- 4 tbsp mint jelly
- 4 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 600 ml whipping cream
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 800 g potatoes, peeled
- 55 g Gruyère cheese, grated, optional
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the chops. Mix the mint jelly, thyme, mustard and lemon zest and spread over both sides of the chops.
- Place on a non-metallic plate or dish, cover and leave to marinate in a fridge overnight or longer if you have time.
- Preheat the oven to 200C 400F Gas 6.
- Pour the cream into a pan, add the garlic and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cut the potatoes lengthways into very thin slices - if you have one, a Japanese mandolin is perfect for this job but mind your fingers!
- Season the potatoes all over and lay in a shallow ovenproof dish about 2 - 2.5 litre (3½ - 4½ pint) capacity.
- Pour over the cream mixture and cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
- Preheat a grill to a medium setting.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the chops and season well with salt and pepper. Cook under a medium grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked to taste. If you want to pan-fry, take care not to burn the chops and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- The fat should crisp up nicely, but do take care as the sugar in the jelly can catch and burn quite quickly.
- If using, sprinkle the cheese over the top of the potatoes and return to the oven until just melting. Serve the lamb with the bubbling pot of dauphinoise potatoes.
