Details
Rustic lamb chops hit with a sharp, punchy garlic and vinegar sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Paste
In a mortar, crush the peeled garlic cloves. Add the white wine vinegar and water, and continue to mix and pound until you have a smooth, homogenous paste.
Cook the Potatoes
Pour half of the olive oil into a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Once warm, add the thinly sliced potatoes and fry gently until they are cooked through and golden.
Cook the Lamb Chops
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a second large frying pan over high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the lamb chops. Fry them briskly, ensuring they become well-browned and crispy on both sides.
Combine with Garlic Paste
Pour half of the garlic paste over the potatoes and the other half over the lamb chops.
Final Touches
Add a pinch of sugar to each pan, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well to ensure the meat and potatoes are fully coated in the garlic sauce.
Serve
Serve the sizzling garlic lamb chops immediately with the garlic potatoes alongside.
