Ingredients
- 4 pieces lamb shoulder chops
- 3 pieces fresh peaches
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper on both sides and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and pit the peaches, then slice them into thick wedges. Mince the garlic and set both aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Place the peach wedges in the skillet and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are lightly caramelized.
Step 6
Return the lamb chops to the skillet, nestling them among the peaches. Add the rosemary sprigs, chicken or vegetable stock, honey, and balsamic vinegar to the pan.
Step 7
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning the lamb chops halfway through, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 8
Remove the rosemary sprigs and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Serve the lamb chops hot, topped with the peaches and drizzled with the pan sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
