Indian Style Lamb Chops

The first day at my new job was great- I am working with people closer to my age, from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, and a mostly women team. These were all the things I was looking for in a new role! My commute home was 20 minutes in heavy traffic- I am loving that!

A funny thing happens when you are close to people- you start dressing the same. My work bff at my old job and I would show up in very similar outfits at least once a week. I got home today and saw Mike wearing this-

 

 

 

Look what I had on, a brown sweater. Even Clifford was matching us tonight

 

 

 

Mike had texted me earlier in the day asking if i wanted lamb and my first thought was of course! I love lamb. Lamb is one of those foods that people either love or hate, but I truly think that those who hate it have never had it prepared properly! We had some lamb in the freezer that we figured should be used up so Mike searched for an Indian inspired lamb recipe.

 

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 lamb rib chops
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Place lamb chops in a shallow baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1-3 hours.

 

         

Preheat grill for medium heat. Place chops on a well oiled grill grate and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and serve with your favorite chutney or yogurt sauce.

 

 

We served the lamb with a bag of Bean So Green from Trader Joe’s that is mixed green veggies and a roasted garlic butter sauce- these were so good!
