Recipe: Braised Curry Lamb Chops and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 6 lamb loin chops
• 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons curry powder, divided
• 1 teaspoon + 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 pounds small waxy potatoes, such as red or yukon gold, cut into quarters
• 32 ounces chicken broth

Instructions

1. Place the lamb chops onto a large plate.
2. In a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of the curry powder and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Spread the curry paste over the entire surface of the lamb chops.
3. Let the chops marinate at least one hour to overnight.
4. In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium high heat.
5. Brown the lamb chops well on both sides, then remove to a plate.
6. Lower the heat to medium low.
7. Add the sliced onion, remaining curry powder, sea salt and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is softened and the spices are fragrant.
8. Pour in the broth, and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any bit crusted on.
9. Add the lamb chops and potatoes, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer.
10. Braise the lamb for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
