Garlic-Mustard Deviled Lamb Chops with Peppers
This updated version of a childhood favorite celebrates the savory flavors of tender lamb chops elevated by a zesty garlic-mustard glaze. Reminiscing about my early kitchen adventures, I decided to refine my 12-year-old self's recipe, incorporating fresh garlic instead of powdered, and tweaking the spices to enhance the dish. These delightful chops are pan-seared to perfection and topped with sweet, caramelized onions and vibrant bell peppers, making them a feast for both the eyes and palate. Enjoy these lamb chops for a romantic dinner for two or a special occasion, and maybe even invite Dad to give lamb another chance!

Ingredients
lamb chops
2 (bone-in, trimmed)
salt
to taste
cracked black pepper
to taste
cooking oil
1 tablespoon
water
2 tablespoons
prepared mustard
2 teaspoons ((Dijon or brown))
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon ((or marjoram, chives, etc.))
garlic clove
1 (finely minced)
yellow onions
4 slices
red bell pepper
2 (sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings)
Instructions
1
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides with salt and cracked black pepper.
2
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the lamb chops and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are beautifully browned.
3
While the lamb chops are cooking, prepare the mustard glaze in a small bowl. Combine the water, prepared mustard, lemon juice, dried parsley, and finely minced garlic, mixing well until smooth.
4
Once the chops are browned, brush the mustard mixture generously over both sides of each chop.
5
Layer the yellow onion slices on top of the lamb chops, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the chops to simmer for 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the meat tenderize.
6
After 15 minutes, spoon some of the pan juices over the chops, then place the sliced red bell peppers on top. Cover again and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.
7
For an added rustic touch, finish the dish by broiling the topped lamb chops under high heat for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Remove from broiler when the vegetables are slightly caramelized and the edges of the chops have a lovely golden crust.
