Sticky Lamb Chops with a Herby Redcurrant Sauce

These succulent lamb chops with their fruity, garlic and rosemary sauce make a quick meal.

  • Gluten Free
Preparation time:
5 minutes, plus marinating
Cooking time:
15 minutes to 20 minutes
Total time:
20 minutes to 25 minutes 25 minutes
Serves:
 4

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
  • ½ x 15g pack fresh rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 English lamb loin chops, trimmed of fat, from the meat service counter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. In a shallow, non-metallic dish, mix together the red wine vinegar and redcurrant jelly. Strip the leaves from the rosemary stalks, set a few aside to garnish, and finely chop the remainder.
  2. Stir into the redcurrant mixture with the garlic. Add the lamb and turn in the mixture; then allow to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then add the lamb with its marinade and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the lamb is done to your liking and the sauce has reduced to a sticky consistency.
  4. Serve the lamb with mashed potatoes and steamed sugar snap peas. Garnish with the reserved rosemary.

Cook's tips

For a barbecue, cook the lamb with its marinade in foil parcels over a moderate heat.

Drinks recommendation

With so many flavours, this dish demands a wine made from more than one grape variety.

Cooked this for my father who has Coeliac's disease and needs to be on a gluten free diet. Meal was very nice, and was extremely easy and quick to cook - now it's on our weekly shopping list. My only modification was to leave out the garlic - it was by accident but we decided we preferred it garlic-free.

I blended the marinade ingredients in my food processor because the jelly takes a while to break up otherwise. Also, I only had Balsamic Vinegar, but this worked really well. Also used dried rosemary, which was ok but I think fresh would've been even better. Great recipe - sure to become a firm favourite. Thanks

This is an excellent recipe and really easy to do. If anything, next time I will make more sauce as everybody wanted more sauce. I served it with roast potatoes which was equally yummy!
