Chump Chops with Blackcurrant Sauce recipe
information
Make the most of the superb sharpness of blackcurrants during their summer season. They are particularly good with lamb, because their natural acidity acts as a foil to the lamb's fattiness. The easiest way to remove fresh blackcurrants from their stalks is to run a fork down the stem.
ingredients
4 lamb chump chops, each weighing about 225 g (8 oz)
1 medium onion, skinned and chopped
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh rosemary
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley
grated rind of 1 lemon
300 ml (1/2 pint) apple and blackcurrant juice
15 ml (1 tbsp) blackcurrant jelly

1. Dry fry the chops in a large non-stick frying pan until brown and sealed on both sides.
