Blackberry and Rosemary Scented Lamb Chops w/ Brown Butter Gnocchi and Sweet and Sour Chard
This recipe's photo fell victim to my camera yet again, which is recently not performing up to par. I am proud though, of the outcome of my creations, so I will share anyway. Alternately, I really love the vintage plate by Wood and Sons of England. Win! Win! Lamb chops are the star of this meal, with the addition of baby chard grown in my herb garden and gnocchi, with flecks of herbs from my garden as well. The marinade was an experiement of sorts with blackberry cider, which I originally used for a wonderful demi sauce for seared pork chops in another publication. When I try new and different products, ingredients and/or seasonings, I like to manifest as many ideas possible, some are decidedly slightly better than others, but delicious none the less.
Recipe:
6 to 8 lamb chops, about 1 1/2 lbs.
1 c. blackberry cider
2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, rough chopped
olive oil for drizzling
SPST
Bring cider and remaining ingredients, except rosemary, up to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in rosemary. Allow marinade to cool completely. Drizzle lamb chops with olive oil and place in large resealable bag or shallow baking dish. Pour marinade over chops and press out excess air and seal if using a bag, turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap if using a dish. Refrigerate for desired time of marination.
When ready, pour off marinade and pat chops dry. SPST
Sear over medium high heat in saute pan drizzled or sprayed with olive oil,until nicely caramelized on both sides, about 2 minutes per side and finish in the oven at 350* F, until internal temp reaches 160*F for medium, about 10 minutes
You may grill as desired also, adding a sultry smokiness to the flavor profile.
Serves 3-4.
