30-Minute ENTREE Lamb Chops Scottadito with Artichokes and Peas Serves 4 Dinner is not complete without meat! Here’s a simple tasty dish that my wife loves. 12 lamb chops, from the rack flour for dusting (optional) 4 medium artichokes, cleaned and julienned 1 cup niçoise olives, coarsely chopped 2 cups honey mushrooms, also known as Shimeji or other mushroom of choice 2 garlic cloves 2 Tbsp. white onions, finely chopped 2 sprigs of Thyme 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half 4 oz. white wine 4 oz. chicken stock olive oil for frying butter to finish the sauce salt and pepper to taste 1. Season the chops with salt and pepper and lightly dust them with flour. Shake well to remove excess. 2. Preheat a sauté pan, add olive oil and sear the chops on both sides until golden. Set aside on a plate and keep warm. 3. In a pan, add the onions and garlic along with the thyme and cook until translucent. Add the mushrooms, olives and artichokes and sauté for a few minutes then return the chops to the pan and sprinkle with wine and evaporate well. Add some chicken stock and simmer for a minute.
