Lamb Chops – Rack of Lamb with Aju

Amazing Lamb Chops

These Lamb Chops I cooked and prepared from scratch completely blew my mind. It was as good as any Prime Rib I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something. The real crazy thing is, it only took me 15 minutes from start to finish and I was eating the most succulent tender Lamb Chops you could ever wish for. And the flavor… Ah… UNBELIEVABLE! I’m telling you this because normally I’m not a fan of lamb. But these Lamb Chops are unreal. I would recommend this recipe to any fan or non believer out there because these meaty bites of heaven are a slam dunk in any kitchen.

Update: Since this recipe was published I put together another video tutorial for a Rack of Lamb. This first recipe was so amazing I started exploring other ways to prepare Lamb Chops and this is what I came up with. A “Garlic Crusted Rack of Lamb!” It takes the same amount of time to cook and prepare and it’s equally amazing yet very distinctive from this Lamb Chops Recipe. I highly recommend it!

I also have a Rack of Lamb recipe with a Mint Panko Crust you might want to consider, along with several spare rib recipes if you’re interested. Just search for “Ribs” in the search bar on this page.

Lamb Chops Ingredients:

1 Rack of Lamb, 8 bones
4 oz Water
2 tbsp Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Sear the Rack of Lamb over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on all sides and bake at 400 degrees f for 10 minutes. Then Cut into Lamb Chops and serve with Aju.

Nacho Pizza

The Best Nacho Pizza

Nacho Pizza is fabulous and once you see and taste it for yourself you’ll agree. Nachos very often have a real nice spicy sauce over them with melted cheese, also Onions, Peppers, chopped Tomato and Olives, Avocado or Guacamole and very often, Lettuce and Sour Cream. Well, you guessed it. those are all of my ingredients for this Nacho Pizza and if you dare to try it out for yourself, you’re going to love it.

Pepperoni Vs. Nacho Pizza

Clearly, there’s no comparison between a classic Pepperoni Pizza and a Nacho Pizza. In fact I’m just showing off a nice pic I took of this Pepperoni using Vita Versa’s Pizza Peal. And I am so glad they sent it too me. I had this old Baking stone I hadn’t broke out yet and I’ve just been dying to use it. So between the two, i can crank out some fantastic Pizza.

The Pizza Peel is easy to use and making pizza is a lot more enjoyable now when pull this off the wall to slide the dough in and out. As you will see in my Nacho Pizza Video down below, owning your own peal makes total sense. And it cleans up and stores with ease. So if you’re interested in Vita Verse’s Pizza Peel, check out their page.

You might also need a few other recipes if you want to make your Nacho Pizza the same way I made this one. I’ve got those links listed down below along with the Pizza Dough recipe as well.

Pork Roast – Oven Roasted Kalua Pig

The Best Kalua Pork Roast

If you’re looking to turn a standard Pork Shoulder or Butt Roast(above) into fall off the bone tender Kalua Pork(below), then you’ve come to the right place. You don’t have to dig a hole in the ground and wrap the roast in banana leaves or burlap, either. I’m going to show you a simple recipe that can be cooked right in the oven and the results are absolutely incredible.

How to make an Oven Roasted Kalua Pork Roast

This Kalua Pork Roast is unbelievably amazing. The secret lies in the slow and low method and only two ingredients that give it that authentic fire roasted flavor everyone just devours. Liquid Smoke and Hawaiian Salt is all you need to take your standard Pork Roast to the next level. Kosher Salt is the alternative if the other isn’t available to you but there are a ton of other benefits derived from the Hawaiian salt that most people don’t know about and you can read about it HERE. And believe it or not, it really does effect the flavor and in my opinion its easily twice the difference. I also like to add a sauce that I partially derived from my Mongolian Beef recipe and it is fantastic over the pork and rice. Also, Kalua Pork is usually served with Hawaiian Macaroni Salad and my recipe for that is below as well.
