MY OTHER RECIPES
I am excited to share this recipe with you from my friend Urvashi Pitre from Two Sleevers in her new book Air Fryer Revolution which she gifted me to review. All the opinions below are my own, and I was not paid for this review.
Choosing your lamb chops
For this recipe you will be looking for loin chop. However, you can also select a rib, or sirloin chop as well. The meat should be a light red with white fat that is evenly distributed, marbling doesn't factor here as it might with beef. They should also be at least one-inch or more in thickness.
You will likely either find American lamb which is mild in flavor compared to it's New Zealand or Australian cousin. If you are serving this to someone that may not be familiar with the taste of lamb or is on the fence the milder version would be great to start with.
Seasoning the air fryer lamb chops
Brush the lamb chops lightly with oil, and rub with the garlic. Season to your taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. While this recipe is enough to serve two it can easily be doubled or even tripled to feed a larger crowd.
Preparing the horseradish cream sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, and sugar. Stir together to combine well. We will use half of this for cooking and the other half for serving.
Be sure to buy a good quality horseradish, and not a sauce. Now you can, of course, buy a prepared horseradish cream sauce off the shelf versus making one. 😉
Cooking the air fryer lamb chops
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Cook the lamb chops on 325-degrees for 10 minutes turning once half way through the cooking time. I have a Go-Wise air fryer, so I had to set mine to 330-degrees for 9 minutes.
Remove the chops from the air fryer, and add to the bowl with half the horseradish sauce. Turn to coat, and place back in the air fryer. Cook at 400-degrees for 3 minutes. Be sure to check that the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145-degrees for medium rare.
Serve immediately, with the remainder of the horseradish cream sauce. These would be great to serve along side my Instant Pot Green Beans with Onions, and some Air Fryer Apple Chips for dessert!
