Ingredients
- 6 Moink lamb chops (mine were 2 inches thick)
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons dry rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Goat Cheese Polenta
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups polenta
- 6 ounces goat cheese, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
For Lamb Chops:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce and remaining ingredients.
- Place chops in a large zip lock bag and pour marinade over chops. Seal bag securely and massage marinade into meat.
- Refrigerate at least 8 hours or over night.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in an iron skillet over medium high heat.
- Add chops and sear for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove skillet and place in the oven.
- Cook lamb chops for 5 minutes; turn over and cook for another 5 minutes for medium-rare.
For Polenta:
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Whisk in the polenta in a steady stream, then DECREASE HEAT TO MEDIUM.
- Cook polenta while stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring for 10 minutes so polenta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
- Add the cheese and rosemary and stir for about 2 minutes or until cheese is almost fully melted. Stir in the butter until melted, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lamb chops on top.
