Balsamic Glazed Lamb Chops in a Skillet
BALSAMIC GLAZED LAMB CHOPS IN A SKILLET
6 lamb chops
¼ c. olive oil
¼ c. balsamic vinegar
¼ c. creole mustard
¼ c. Dijon mustard
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, remove the leaves from the stems
1 (7-oz.) container baby boiler onions
1 (8-oz.) baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 small container cherry tomatoes, halved (if you can get a mixed color variety, use it)
2-3 ears fresh corn, kernels removed from cobs
Balsamic glaze
Salt, red/black pepper
Red Wine Reduction Basting Sauce (recipe below)
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Creole mustard, Dijon mustard and rosemary leaves. Mix well.
- Season lamb with salt, red/black pepper.
- Take the mustard mixture and rub all over lamb, place in glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Take a large black skillet and drizzle bottom with olive oil and place over medium heat.
- Add the baby onions and saute for about 3-5 minutes or until tender and a little golden in color.
- Add the lamb chops and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn heat off.
- Preheat oven 400.
- Add the mushrooms, tomatoes and corn to the skillet and work around the chops.
- Ladle about ¼-1/2 cup of the Red Wine Reduction Basting Sauce.
- Place the skillet in heated oven.
- Cook for about 5-8 minutes, depending on how rare you like your lamb and how thick your chops are. I usually keep mine about 5-6 minutes. I like medium rare.
- Remove from oven.
- Before serving, drizzle with Balsamic Glaze (you can buy this in specialty stores or order on line.) It is a reduction of good quality balsamic vinegar. I use it on everything.
RED WINE REDUCTION BASTING SAUCE
1 bottle of red wine (inexpensive or if you have any leftover wine just dump them altogether.)
1 stick butter
1 onion, diced
½ c. honey
½ c. balsamic vinegar - Saute onion in butter.
- Add wine and reduce by ½.
- Add honey and vinegar, let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cool and place in smaller containers and refrigerate.
*Use to baste during grilling and after. I use this on pork, lamb and duck breasts.
