I've made it five or six times and it always turns out well. I've also substituted lamb loin and that is great too. I will say that the quality of lamb you use makes a difference. Originally, I was able to get lamb from New Zealand and it was amazing. Lately, I've been using our locally raised lamb, and while I like that it is local, I don't think it's quite as good as the lamb I used from New Zealand.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb shoulder chops (about 1 inch thick) 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and coarsely ground Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 3/4 cup full-bodied dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar 2 cups chicken stock 7 ounces dried Calimyrna figs (about 8) 2 dried bay leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season lamb with fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in large high-sided ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sear chops until well browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Add wine and vinegar. Boil until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add stock, figs, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.

Braise lamb in oven, covered, for 45 minutes. Uncover. Braise, basting often, until lamb is tender and just falling off the bone, about 45 minutes more. (If liquid is not saucelike, simmer over medium-high heat until thickened.) Serve lamb with sauce.

Cook’s Notes Braised lamb chops can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly, covered, in a low-temperature oven.
