Shoulder Chops With Chipotle Cherry Sauce

4 servings
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 American Lamb shoulder chops
• 1/4 cup red onion, minced
• 3 tsp butter
• 1/2 cup ruby red port*
• 1 cup dried cherries
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp chipotle peppers in adobo, canned, drained, minced
• Salt, to taste

Instructions:

In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat, cook onion in butter for about 2 minutes. Add port and stir; simmer until liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in dried cherries, chicken stock, honey and thyme; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Thicken sauce by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and whisking into simmering mixture. Add chipotle peppers and salt.

Cook times will vary depending on thickness of chops. For 1-inch chops, broil, grill or pan-fry chops over medium heat for approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Spoon warmed sauce over chops.

*1/2 cup of alcohol-free red cooking wine and 1 tablespoon sugar may be substituted.
