Honey Jerk Lamb Chops

Cultural Context

Originating from Jamaica, jerk seasoning is a hallmark of Caribbean cuisine, traditionally used to flavor meats cooked over an open flame. The combination of spices and the sweet notes from honey create a delicious contrast, making these lamb chops a favorite for special occasions. Today, jerk flavors have transcended borders, inspiring variations across the globe, from grilled chicken to seafood dishes.

1

Prep lamb chops by slicing between the bones of a full rack to create individual chops.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon garlic paste, 1 tablespoon ginger paste, 1 tablespoon and 1/2 jerk marinade, 1 tablespoon green seasoning, and 1 teaspoon ground allspice to create the marinade.

3

Clean lamb chops with lime juice and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

4

Let lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 3 hours or overnight if possible.

5

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon jerk paste, 1 teaspoon garlic paste, 1 teaspoon ginger paste, juice of half a lime, and 1/4 cup honey. Add a pinch of cinnamon and optional red pepper flakes for heat, then let it reduce until thickened.

6

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to coat the bottom.

7

Remove excess marinade from lamb chops and sear them in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned.

8

Transfer seared lamb chops to a wire rack, brush with the prepared sauce, and place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking.

9

Plate the lamb chops with the remaining sauce and serve.
