Lamb Chops with Jalapeno Mint Sauce

Makes 4 lamb chops

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

4 lamb loin chops

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon spicy steam seasoning

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup jalapeno jelly*

1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced (optional)

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh mint

How to Make Lamb Chops with Jalapeno Mint Sauce:

Trim the fat from the lamb chops.

On a large plate, or in a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour and steak seasoning.

Dredge both sides of each lamb chop until evenly coated.

In a large saute pan over medium high heat, saute heat the oil for 2 minutes.

Add chops and sear for 5 minutes on each side (medium rare).

Remove chops from the pan and keep warm.

Add the chicken broth to the pan, scraping any brown bits. 

Stir in the jelly and the jalapeno.

Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until jelly melts.

Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in mint.

Plate chops and drizzle about 3 Tablespoons sauce over each chop.

*Substitute Jelly

For less spiciness and more of a sweeter flavor try substituting seedless raspberry jelly for the jalapeno jelly.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs also work well.

Just saute them for about 6 minutes on each side.
