Lamb Chops

Mashed Potatoes

Demiglace

Method

Lamb Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Coat the lamb chops with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb Chops

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

  3. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Demiglace

  1. 7

    Prepare the Base

    In a saucepan, combine beef stock, red wine, chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery, bay leaf, and black peppercorns.

  2. 8

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 30-40 minutes until reduced by half.

  3. 9

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir this into the sauce and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until thickened.
