Easy to make at home! Tips and easy recipes for cooking lamb chops

Even if you love lamb and want to eat it at home, have you given up because you think it would be difficult due to lamb's unique flavor?
In fact, it's not that difficult if you know the cooking tips! This time, we'll introduce you to some important points and easy recipes for cooking delicious lamb chops at home.

Is it difficult to cook lamb chops? The key is preparation.

Since lamb is such a delicious meat, make sure to prepare it thoroughly before cooking. This is not limited to lamb, but a little preparation can make a big difference in the final result of any meat dish!
First, to tenderize meat, use the enzymes contained in raw vegetables and fresh fruits. Enzymes break down proteins, making the meat easier to chew when eating and preventing it from shrinking when cooked.
We also recommend chopping or grating vegetables such as onions and radishes, and fruits such as pineapple, before soaking them.
In addition, the enzymes in rice koji, salt koji, and yogurt also have the effect of tenderizing meat. Salt koji in particular is a seasoning that kills two birds with one stone, as it can tenderize meat and also add seasoning.

These lamb chops look fancy but are easy to cook!

Here are two recipes that you can easily make at home.

Tips for making lamb and other meat even more delicious

Here are some things to know to help you enjoy lamb chops and other meat to the fullest.

Dry meat is a sign of dehydration

Have you ever had the experience of grilling a steak at home only to find it too dry to chew? There are two main reasons why meat becomes dry.
The first is the loss of drip (moisture and flavor components) when thawing frozen meat. If the frozen period or the time it takes for food to freeze is long, the ice crystals that form when the moisture in the food freezes will become larger. These crystals damage the cells of the food, causing excess moisture to be released when the food is thawed, resulting in a large amount of drip.
The key to preventing dripping is to defrost slowly. Try defrosting meat by moving it from the freezer to the refrigerator about two days before eating. Also, even if it is frozen, try to avoid storing it for long periods of time.
The second reason meat becomes dry is that the moisture in the meat gets out while it is being cooked. Have you ever noticed water seeping into the frying pan while grilling meat, even though you didn't use any water? This is the meat becoming dehydrated. Along with the moisture, the flavor and nutrients are also lost. 
To prevent this dehydration of meat, marinate the meat in a seasoning containing salt and allow it to absorb the seasoning thoroughly. This will keep the meat moist. Also, if you poke holes all over the meat with a fork before marinating it in the seasoning, it will be easier for the seasoning to be absorbed.

Cover the gamey-taste with spices

Cooking lamb with spices and herbs will help to reduce its gamey-taste. We recommend simmering it in a spicy curry or marinating it in a seasoning containing herbs such as rosemary and thyme before making it into steak.
Did you know that yogurt also has the effect of deodorizing food? If you marinate it in spices and yogurt like tandoori chicken, not only will it remove the fishy smell, but it may even taste more like a professional dish!

The key to cooking lamb is preparation!

Bone-in meat dishes add a touch of elegance to your dinner table, so lamb chops are perfect for special occasions. However, as we've introduced today, there are a few tricks you need to know to enjoy lamb chops and other lamb dishes to their fullest. Whether or not you prepare them properly makes a big difference in the final result. Be sure to give lamb chop cooking a try, paying careful attention to the preparation!
