Why You Really Must Try This Loin Lamb Chop Recipe With Harissa Sauce

Have you ever had a perfectly cooked piece of loin lamb chop? It literally melts in your mouth. Lamb isn't meat just for special occasions.

This Loin Lamb Chop recipe with Harissa sauce is a complete meal. It includes the main dish, with a beautiful sauce, and a delicious vegetable side in about 30 minutes. You can't beat that.

Wait, What is Harissa Sauce?

My Harissa sauce is a beautiful sauce made from a pepper paste and sour cream. Harissa Paste is common in African cuisine and the flavor can't be matched by anything else.

yI love the bright flavor it adds to this dish, and it is the perfect amount of acidity to liven things up.

How To Make This Loin Lamb Chop Recipe With Harissa Sauce

1. Remove kale from the freezer and allow it to thaw on the kitchen counter while you get all the other ingredients together.
2. In a small bowl, coat the lamb chops with 1 tablespoon harissa paste on each side and set aside.
3. Heat a 10-inch non-stick saucepan with a cover. To the hot pan, add the lamb chops. Let them cook undisturbed on one side for 3 minutes until a crust has formed. Flip over and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes.
4. Remove the lamb chops to a plate. To the saucepan, add kale and ½ cup of water. Mix well, deglazing the pan as you go.
5. Add back in the lamb chops on top of the kale. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes. Test the lamb chops with a thermometer to ensure they are 145F for medium-rare.
6. Meanwhile, mix together 2 tablespoons of Harissa and ½ cup of sour cream. When the lamb chops are done, remove them to a serving plate. Add half the harissa sour cream mix to the kale and mix well, until the sauce has melted into the kale. Taste and add salt as needed.
7. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the lamb chops and serve.

Tips And Tricks For Making Loin Lamb Chop Recipe With Harissa Sauce

• If you use commercially bought harissa, you may or may not get the same burst of flavor. But I’d say make it at home. You can learn how to make homemade harissa in my Instant Pot Harira Soup recipe.
• You can also use harissa for marinating meat, roasting vegetables, or as a sauce. In this recipe, that ingredient does triple duty as a marinade, cooking sauce, and drizzling sauce (because #ruthlesseffiency).
• I hate washing dishes unnecessarily so I didn’t remove the lamb chops at Step 4. It works equally well to just push them to one side, and mix up the kale, and then put them on top of it, and proceed as directed.

Lamb loin chops are the cut of lamb that's cut from the ribs of the lamb. They're wonderfully tender, and easily one of the most flavorful and delicious cuts of lamb in my opinion. They're the perfect cut of lamb for this recipe, and I use this cut in lots of other recipes as well.

How Do You Cook Lamb Chops In The Air Fryer?
