Portmanteau Lamb Chops
Ingredients
- 4 thick lamb loin chops
- 1 1/2 oz butter
- 4 oz chicken livers thawed if frozen and finely chopped
- 4 oz mushrooms finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 oz fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
- fresh parsley sprigs to garnish
Instructions
- Using a sharp, pointed knife, make a horizontal cut in each chop, working from the outside fat edge to the bone, to form a pocket.
- To make the stuffing, melt 15 g (1/2 oz) of the butter in a frying pan, add the chicken livers and mushrooms and fry for 4 - 5 minutes, until soft but not brown. Season to taste.
- Leave the stuffing to cool slightly, then spoon into the cavity in the chops and secure the open edges with wooden cocktail sticks.
- Dip the chops in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
- Put the chops in a roasting tin. Melt the remaining butter and pour over the chops. Bake at 200°C (400°F) mark 6 for 15 minutes, then turn and bake for a further 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot, garnished with parsley sprigs.
