Stephen Harris: Thai-style mussels with lemongrass Oven-baked Lamb Chops with Onion and Rosemary Sauce Return to listing This is simplicity itself – just pop the chops into the oven to bake, and the sauce is easily made. We like to serve this at home with tiny steamed new potatoes tossed in a teaspoonful of lamb fat and some freshly snipped chives, with some young fresh shelled peas or broad beans. Serves 4 This recipe first appeared in Sainsbury’s Magazine (Dairy Collection). First of all, place the lamb chops in a shallow roasting tin with the onion tucked around them. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and sweat the onions over a very gentle heat for 5 minutes. Next, using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour till smooth, then gradually add the milk followed by the stock, bit by bit, stirring vigorously and finishing off with a balloon whisk. Season with salt and pepper and let the sauce barely simmer for 2 minutes, then remove it from the heat, liquidise half of it and then combine that with the rest, along with the cream.
