I realize lamb isn't everyone's cup of tea but this recipe is easy, delicious, and will make a fan out of anyone who doubts that lamb can be delicious. I don't recall where I got this recipe from but it has livened many a dinner party for me. You will need a small skillet with its lid.
2 lamb chops (approximately 1 pound.)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/3 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup water
Slowly heat the olive oil in skillet. Add the lamb chops and brown well on both sides (approximately five minutes.)
Add the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Pour over the lamb chops in the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about forty minutes or until the lamb is tender. Remove chops.
Thicken the oil mixture in your skillet with 1 tablespoon corn starch and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a thick consistency.
Serve your lamb chops with white rice (prepared as per manufacturers instructions) and gravy.
(You can double and/or triple the ingredients as necessary.)
Enjoy!
