Asian Lamb Chops

Ingredients

• 2 Lamb racks (1 ½ lb. each)
• Olive oil

Dipping Sauce

• 2/3 cup Hoisin sauce
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Chili garlic sauce
• 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
• 4 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 tsp. minced ginger
• 2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tsp. sesame oil

Directions

Dipping Sauce

1. Combine all in a large mixing bowl and set aside

Lamb Racks

1. Preheat oven to 450
2. Take lamb racks and (Frenched if desired) cut whole racks into 2 rib chops. You should get 4 2-rib chops from each rack.
3. Sear lamb pieces in large sauté pan with oil until brown (1-2 minutes per side)
4. Dip the seared chops into sauce making sure they are completely covered
   and arrange on a roasting rack or baking sheet. I always cover the pan with
   parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
5. Roast in oven for 15-20min for medium rare (125-130 degrees)
6. While chops are in oven bring remaining dipping sauce to a boil, then simmer
   for 5 minutes. This can be served in small bowls for individual dipping.
7. Once chops are done. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before you serve.
