Crispy Fillet Of Lamb With Peanut Butter Sauce
Instructions:
- 4 Loin lamb chops; about 1−inch thick, each weighing 8 ounces
- 2 Tablespoon Flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 Cup Orange juice
- 1 Cup Chicken broth
- 1/4 Teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1/4 Cup Unhomogenized peanut butter
- TO PREPARE THE LAMB:
- Have the butcher remove the bone from the loin.
- With a sharp knife, remove the outside fat and tie a piece of string around the middle of each boneless loin chop so the filet section of the loin will not fall apart when you are cooking it.
- On a flat plate, season the flour with salt and pepper. Dip all sides of the lamb in the seasoned flour and shake off any excess. In a medium non−stick skillet over high heat, heat the oil.
- When very hot, sear the lamb, on all sides until it begins to get golden.
- Turn the heat to medium low and cook, for about 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the meat and the degree of doneness you prefer.
- In a wide 10−inch skillet over medium heat, make the sauce by simmering the orange juice, chicken broth and red pepper flakes until only 3/4 cup remains. Whisk in the peanut butter and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- TO SERVE:
- Remove the cooked lamb to a carving board and carefully remove the string.
- With tongs, center each piece on a dinner plate and spoon some of the sauce around the lamb.
- Serve immediately.
