Rainy day? Broil these succulent lamb chops with a flavorful glaze for a taste explosion of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, or other chili sauce
  • 6 thick-cut lamb loin chops (4-ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for greasing pan
Instructions:
  • Combine brown sugar, tamarind paste, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, salt, Sriracha, pepper, cinnamon, clove, and fennel in a bowl to make the marinade. Coat lamb chops thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours, turning the chops occasionally.
  • Preheat the broiler on high for a minimum of 10 minutes, then place the lamb chops onto a greased foil-lined pan.
  • Place the dish in the oven broiler, ensuring it is 7 to 8 inches away from the heat source. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side. Then, take it out and generously brush any leftover marinade on both sides.
  • Place the dish back under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until it has a shiny glaze and is fully cooked. Use an instant-read thermometer to check if the center reaches at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
  • After baking, cover the pan with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Place the lamb chops on a platter and generously drizzle with the flavorful pan juices. Top off with zesty lime wedges, diced onion, fresh mint, and an extra kick of Sriracha for those who like it spicy.
