Family Dining During The Holidays
For a holiday meal for my family, I generally don’t go overboard. There’s no need since there’s only 2 adults and 2 little picky eaters. Larger families may prepare turkey or ham or a whole chicken, but this does not work for my household at the moment. I did however, prepare some things for the first time. As always, I cook with faith, hoping that the meal will turn out great.
Success strikes again! I made Lamb Loin Chops – freestyle. Plus Buttermilk Chicken and my husbands favourite lasagna. I’m sharing the recipe for the Lamb today because it is so simple and the lamb chops were so elegant.
- 8 pieces Lamb Loin Chops
- 2 Tsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
- 2 Tsp Dried Thyme
- 2 Cloves Garlic, cut in half
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 2 Tsp All Purpose Seasoning
- Olive Oil for Searing
- ¼ Cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- Season Lamb on both sides with Salt, Pepper, Rosemary, Thyme and All Purpose Seasoning. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
- In a large dutch oven (or skillet), sautee garlic until oil is fragrant. Remove garlic and discard.
- Add lamb gently to the pot. Brown on both sides about 5 minutes per side.
- Reduce heat and add chicken broth.
- Cover and simmer for about 20-30 minutes until meat is soft and tender.
The lamb smelled wonderful as I browned them. I’m not sure how often I’ll be cooking lamb, but these pieces were very tender and flavourful.
And here was our holiday family dinner. Just for us 🙂 Small. Simple. Made with love.
