Russell cooked these for us tonight and they were more than a 5! He pan fried the chops and onions then made the "optional" sauce in that same pan. Don't like lamb??? We reckon you could use the sauce over steak or sausages, because it's the sauce we gave the 5 stars. Don't forget the pinch of cayenne too. I'll be making this at work over sausages tomorrow. UPDATE: I made the sauce (x4) again today, at work, and poured it over (5kg) sausages. They were extremely popular, a sell out in fact!

I didn;t make the sauce and they were still super good. After cooking the onions & chops I deglazed the pan with sherry (6 tbsp), reduced it by half and then returned the onions & chops to the pan, just to heat through I didn't want to over cook them (still pink inside)- Loved them. I poured the unthickened sherry over my potatoes and fork mashed them - excellent, served with steamed carrots & snow peas. Thanks Derf for a lovely dinner.
