Expert Pan-Fried Lamb Chops with Port Wine and Cinnamon Sauce

Ingredients for 4 people
  • 12 beautiful lamb chops
  • 12 cl Port Wine
  • 15 cl Veal jus
  • 60 g Fresh butter
  • 2 tablespoons Sunflower oil
  • 1 pinch Cinnamon powder
  • A few sprigs Chives
  • 12 tablespoons Basmati rice cooked in butter
  • Salt, ground pepper QS
Preparation Time
  • Preparation: 15 minutes

Instructions
  1. Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat sunflower oil in a pan over high heat and sear the chops for about 8 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness. Rest on a rack to keep warm.
  2. Discard the cooking oil, then deglaze the pan with Port wine. Reduce almost dry, add veal jus, and reduce by half. Whisk in butter pieces off the heat until a glossy sauce forms. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Arrange buttery basmati rice in a circle on each plate and position the chops beneath.
  4. Drizzle the warm Port sauce over the chops.
  5. Lightly dust with cinnamon powder for a subtle aromatic finish (optional).
