Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
red wine
🥗Healthier: grape juice
💰Cheaper: cooking wine
Grape juice adds sweetness without alcohol.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Vegetable oil is less expensive and neutral in flavor.
Season lamb chops generously with salt and let rest for 30 minutes.
Pat lamb chops dry to ensure a good sear.
Lightly dust lamb chops with flour to help develop a crust.
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium high heat until shimmering.
Sear lamb chops in the pot for 2 to 3 minutes undisturbed, then flip and sear for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove lamb chops from the pot and let them rest.
Add chopped onions to the pot and cook over medium heat until soft and golden.
Add sliced garlic, bay leaves, parsley stems, and diced chili to the pot and cook until fragrant.
Add onion powder and garlic powder and toast for a minute.
Pour in whiskey and white wine, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add white soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chicken bouillon to the pot and stir well.
Return the seared lamb chops to the pot, coating them in the sauce.
Lower the heat and cover the pot, simmering for 30 to 40 minutes until lamb is tender and sauce thickens.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
Fry slices of bread in vegetable oil until golden and crispy, then rub with garlic for extra flavor.
Fry potatoes until golden and crispy, seasoning with salt and smoked paprika after frying.
Assemble the dish by placing fried bread on a plate, topping with lamb chops, and ladling sauce over.
Add crispy potatoes on top for texture contrast.
