Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Ripe mango
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the lamb chops are resting, peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Finely dice the red onion and mince the ginger.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the diced mango, onion, ginger, red chili flakes, ground cinnamon, white vinegar, brown sugar, and water.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and the chutney thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly while preparing the lamb chops.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 6

Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium.

Step 7

Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the lamb chops with a generous spoonful of mango chutney on top or on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
