Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 Frenched lamb chops (about 1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Pomegranate arils for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the lamb chops dry. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. You are aiming for medium-rare to medium. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, combine the pomegranate juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until the honey dissolves.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the lamb chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chops, turning them to coat completely. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  8. Remove the chops from the heat. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with fresh pomegranate arils and mint leaves.

Notes

  • Spoon suggests searing in batches if your skillet is crowded to achieve a better crust.
  • Sprout recommends using freshly squeezed pomegranate juice for the brightest flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the honey by one teaspoon.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy polenta or roasted asparagus.
