Lamb chops

Lamb chops wooo mouth watering, this is the recipe which I got from shirish's cousin , very simple but very tasty !!!

Nutritional Values:
Lamb has a high nutritional value and is an especially good source of easily absorbed zinc and iron.
Lamb is rich in B vitamins, especially B12. One serving can provide 74-100% of the daily requirement for Vitamin B12, which is essential for the body's metabolic reactions. Lamb is also nature's best source for an amino acid called carnitine, which is needed to generate energy from fatty acids. Trace elements such as copper, manganese, and selenium are also found in this meat, and it contains a rich supply of high quality protein.

Ingredients:
                                               

Lamb shoulder chops 2
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Red chili powder 2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp (according to taste)
Oil 1tsp
Kasuri methi 1/2 tsp(Optional)
Scotch 3tsp
Onion 1/2 small
Lemon Juice - 1tsp

To Marinate:
Take a bowl wash the chops , keep them aside.In a bowl add ginger garlic paste ,chili powder,salt,kasuri methi scotch make into a paste and apply it on the chops . Add oil to the chops.
The longer the meat is marinated the better it tastes , you can keep it in the freezer if you are not using immediately. If you want to use immediately at least marinate it for 6-8 hrs.

Now coming to adding scotch while marinating is it gives a very juicy taste and the flavor is different.This is optional it tastes great even without scotch.

Method:
1.Pre-heat the oven to 425 degree .
2.If you have a baking pan arrange the chops in the pan , for those who don't have pan can use aluminum foil , just spread in the oven and place the chops on the sheet.
3.Cook the chops for about 30-35 min and wear the glove and with the help of tongs flip the chops so that it doesn't burn.
4.Insert a toothpick into the chop and see if its cooked properly , you can add chopped onion rings in the tray if you like .
5. After the chops are cooked switch of the oven and enjoy.

The chops are ready to serve you can serve them with asparagus.


Asparagus:


High in vitamins B6 and C, plus fiber, folate and glutathione, an anti-carcinogen and antioxidant, asparagus is an excellent nutritional choice. It comes in three colors: white, green or purple, although the green variety is the most common.
Asparagus spears can be thick or thin.Thicker spears may have tougher, woodier ends, but these are broken off before cooking anyway.
How to cook Asparagus:
1.Peel the bottom of the asparagus slightly.
2.Wash the asparagus ,add very little salt and boil them on medium heat for 8 min.
3.Drain the water and serve cold/hot according to taste.
