这是我去羊肉食谱!全家人值列表es it. The sauce does take forever to reduce. I add about a1/4 cup of unsweetened Apple sauce which I think helps. And do cool completely the sauce thickens. The timing is right for med rare.

wow! just reduce that sauce, reduce and reduce... it gets sticky, sweet and great. 3 minutes under the broiler on both sides and they mostly turned out medium rare. Thanks, my 3 year old says this is one of her favourite lollipops!

I doubled the recipe, and the glaze too FOREVER to reduce. I had it on a full boil for over 40 minutes, and I still didn't get it down all the way - I just lost patience and used it on the meat - not even giving it time to cool. I'm sure it would be better, thicker, if I let it reduce all the way and cool. So I would cook this again, but make the sauce in advance knowing it's going to take awhile to reduce. I used Trader Joe's frozen lamb, which come with herbs on it, so there were a lot of flavors going on. It was good, and I'd be interested in trying it with a proper made glaze and plain lamb. The broiling was a snap, just as they said. I hadn't cooked lamb that way (always put the rack in the oven), and it was great to see how fast it can cook! Great for a weekday night.

This was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I'm an avid cook and found this to be a simple meal to prepare (I made the sauce the day before so I could easily make the dish when I got home from work). The sauce is a great complement to the lamb. Rather than broil the chops, we barbecued them for approximately the same amount of time. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this and I will make it again!

I'm a huge fan of lamb, but the glaze is a lot of work just to season the meat. It does add a great flavor to the meat though. I only applied it to the meat while it broiled and that seemed like enough. Skip the shallots. Excellent dish for Valentine's Night In ;)

The lamb chops per se were excellent, but the glaze was very mild and didnt really add much to them. A waste of good ingredients.

A terrific recipe. Tasty and fairly simple. Worthy of the guest menu at our house.

This glaze was amazing! I couldn't find unfiltered apple cider so I had to use a bottle of Bulmer's Irish cider but it still tasted fantastic.

I made this for our Valentine's Day feast with the apple frisee salad with cherries and walnuts. This was my first attempt at lamb and I was impressed with the easiness of the whole process. I used organic apple juice instead of cider (out of season, I guess!) but everything else was the same. I blended the glaze in the food processor before I put it on the stove to reduce, and afterwards, I strained it to get all the little bits of garlic and ginger out. The cooking time was spot-on -- 3 minutes on each side. Very quick and delicious. Served on top of mashed Parmesan potatoes. Husband kept talking about how good it was even the next morning!

This recipe is perfect as is! I grated my ginger using a Japanese ginger grater, which made it so smooth and creamy. Great Valentine's Day treat!

We really enjoyed the lamb chops for Valentines Day. We only had enough apple cider for half, so it needed a little bit of flavor, but I can imagine if we had all of it, it would have been really good.

Quite easy to make, and produces an amazingly flavorful result. Tartness of the soy sauce and vinegar in the glaze is well balanced by the cider and honey.

I forgot to mention that I used apple cider vinegar instead of the rice wine, because I was out. Delicious still!

I made these exactly as written and they were fantastic! I cooked my lamb chops to a nice med-rare and they were the juiciest and tastiest lambchops I've eaten so far. Great balance of flavors, sauce is perfect. Everything about this recipe is flawless! Just make sure not to overcook and use fresh ginger. You will be happy with these I promise!
