May 4, 2025 Written by Artem

Today, I am excited to share a unique recipe that is perfect for a cozy night in or a small gathering with friends. This dish brings together unexpected flavors and textures to create a delightful culinary experience.

Ingredients:

  • 4 lamb chops (bone-in)
  • 100g blackberries
  • 1 fennel bulb
  • 30ml maple syrup
  • 15ml balsamic vinegar
  • 50g goat cheese
  • 30g pistachios

Kitchen Tools:

  • oven
  • grill pan
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and grill them in a hot grill pan for 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely browned. Transfer the chops to a baking dish and place them in the oven to finish cooking for about 10-15 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness.

While the lamb is cooking, prepare the accompaniments. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar to create a glaze. Slice the fennel bulb thinly and add it to the bowl, tossing to coat the slices.

Place the blackberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes to release their juices. Crush the pistachios slightly and crumble the goat cheese.

Assemble:

Once the lamb chops are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven and brush them with the maple-balsamic glaze. Serve the lamb chops with the roasted blackberries, fennel slices, crumbled goat cheese, and crushed pistachios on top.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a bit of honey over the finished dish before serving. The sweet and savory combination will take the dish to the next level.

Serving:

This recipe serves 2 people, with each serving weighing approximately 300g. Each serving is estimated to contain around 450 calories.

I hope you enjoy this inventive dish and feel inspired to get creative in the kitchen. Don’t be afraid to tweak the recipe to suit your tastes, and make it your own. Happy cooking!
