Sous Vide Lamb Chops

I got six beautiful lamb chops gifted to us last night so I sous vided them for dinner tonight.

Aren’t these pretty?

Time to make Sous Vide Lamb Chops!

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

• 6 lamb chops
• 2 tablespoons Dukka seasoning
• Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of lard or your fat of choice

Equipment:

• All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.

I seasoned them with some Dukka, salt, and pepper…

… and then vacuum sealed them.

At 3:30 p.m., I popped them in my SousVide Supreme (set at 130 F) so they’d be ready to take out in 2 hours.

Here are the chops straight outta the bath.

Not so pretty but trust me, it gets better.

I heated a couple tablespoons of lard in my cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and I seared them for 1½ minutes on each side…

…and then I seared the fatty edge for about a minute.

See? I told you they’d be pretty again – pretty tasty! (Sorry for the lame pun.)

I served the chops with Tabil seasoned roasted cauliflower in lard. I set the oven to 400 F on convection roast and tossed them every 15 minutes until they were nice and toasty on the outside and tender on the inside (~35 minutes total).

From now on, I’m gonna be roasting my veggies with lard and set on convection roast.

For my second veggie side, I took some frozen haricot verts out of the freezer, threw on 2 pats of butter, and nuked the dish for 3 minutes.

Then, I seasoned them with salt and pepper.

Here’s my finished plate:

The chops were yummy. I actually think these lamb lollipops would’ve tasted better if I’d roasted them the  conventional way in the oven (more crispy, rendered fat).  But that would take a skilled chef. Sous vide ensured that I didn’t waste this wonderful meat.

Thanks H & B! You guys are the best!
