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.

The Best Pumpkin Pie Turnovers

In this video tutorial, I make them small, like little mini turnovers but you can make them any size you want.

Either way, you’re going to need basic Pumpkin Pie Ingredients, listed down below, to get this recipe started.

Pumpkin Pie Turnovers Experience

My Experience with Turnovers is personal. When I was a child, I was babysat by a family that owned an A&W shop that went belly up. I stayed good friends with their son for years and eventually they got back on their feet and bought a bakery. They delivered bread to local restaurants, sold all kinds of desserts, cakes, pies, donuts and of course Turnovers. And just like the Poor Man’s Gourmet Kitchen, they didn’t care too much for waste. So anything left over would often find its way home. It wasn’t often, but sometimes my friends would offer me a slice here or there. But, my absolute favorite was the turnovers. I’m not sure they ever made Pumpkin Pie Turnovers, per say but I sure had my fair share of Apple, Lemon and Raspberry.

Be sure to check out my Pumpkin Pie Milkshake. It’s so good and easy to make. You can even use leftover pumpkin pie as the base.

Pumpkin Pie Turnovers Ingredients:

1 can or 4 cups Pumpkin Puree, plus can ingredients
(ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon, sugar, salt, eggs & evaporated milk)
Just follow the Manufacturer’s recipe recommendations

1 box Pie Crust dough
1 egg, for egg wash

Glaze
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Add more sugar if you want the glaze thicker

Be sure to watch and follow the instructions in my video tutorial and bake the Pumpkin Pie Turnovers at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
