Dundee (or Essex) Marmalade Lamb Chops

This is an interesting recipe.  I originally found it because I had some nice Welsh lamb chops and wanted a different way to cook them.  I had just bought a jar of decent marmalade and typed marmalade and lamb into Google.

It came from RecipeZaar.

These are the ingredients.

• 4 leg lamb chops
• 2 1/2 fluid ounces vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 4 tablespoons real marmalade (i.e. with sugar and not wheat maltodextrin – Tiptree is ideal)
• 4 slices oranges, for garnish
• 2 ounces unsalted butter
• 2 1/2 fluid ounces water
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• salt and pepper, to taste

And this is how you cook it.

1. You will need a frying pan with a heavy base and a close-fitting lid.
2. First, brown the chops in the butter.
3. Sprinkle the ginger, paprika, salt and pepper over the chops and add water and vinegar.
4. Place a generous tablespoon of marmalade on the top of each chop.
5. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 45 minutes on a very low heat.
6. If required, add a little extra water.
7. Serve with a twist of orange on top of the chops and with boiled potatoes and fresh vegetables.

It is absolutely disgusting.  But wonderful.
