I actually used my farm raised goat chops for this. But lamb chops will work just as well.

Ingredients

  1. 3lamb chops per serving. 1" thick
  2. Sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard
  3. 2 tbsbutter
  4. For the sauce
  5. 1shallot, minced
  6. 2vine ripened tomatoes, chopped
  7. 1 tspminced garlic
  8. 1 cupvodka
  9. 1/4 cupchopped fresh basil
  10. 1 1/2 cupsheavy cream, mixed with 1 tbs flour
  11. to tasteSalt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Coat lamb chops with the seasonings. Let sit for a half hour.

  2. 2

    Add a little oil to a heated fry pan. Add shallots. Saute for 3-4 minutes over medium low heat. Add tomatoes and garlic. Saute 2 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Be very careful with this next step. Make sure nothing is above your pan. Remove from heat for 30 seconds. Add vodka and return to heat. Light vodka with a stick lighter. Flambè until alcohol burns off. This lets the sugars in the tomatoes and shallots caramelize a bit. After the alcohol burns off, let liquid reduce by about 3/4.

  4. 4

    Add basil and cream. Stir very often until sauce gets a thick velvety texture. Season to taste.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile heat another fry pan. Add a touch of oil. Add chops. Cook on medium to medium high heat. 3-4 minutes. Turn chops over and add butter. As the butter browns, spoon over chops to baste. Cook 3-4 minutes on that side. Cook chops to medium rare.

  6. 6

    Plate chops and let rest a couple minutes. Spoon sauce over top. Garnish with fresh basil. I served with my eggplant au gratin. Enjoy.

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
