Recipe - Lovers Lamb Chops

1 Onion; chopped coarsely
4 Rib lamb chops; trimmed
1 tablespoon Flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cumin
One half teaspoon Nutmeg
One half teaspoon Rosemary
Salt and freshly ground
pepper
2 tablespoon Olive oil
Cilantro; (Coriander), for
garnish

MARINADE
One half cup Currants
1/3 cup Dried apricots; chopped
1/3 cup Prunes; chopped
1/3 cup Madeira; (or stock)
1 One half teaspoon Fresh ginger; peeled and
grated
1 One half tablespoon Honey

In a small bowl, soften the currants, apricots and prunes in the Madeira or
stock for 20 minutes. Add grated ginger and honey, cover and keep
refrigerated until needed. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a nonstick
skillet and add the onion. Saute over low heat until the onion begins to
caramelise, about 4 5 minutes. Remove onion. Combine flour, spices and
herbs in a bowl and mix together. Massage the lamb with the mixture until
completely coated. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear
the meat quickly on both sides. Add the onions and reserved fruit mixture.
Continue to saut‚ for about 7 8 more minutes more. The lamb will be rare;
if you prefer your meat more thoroughly cooked, then adjust the cooking
time. Transfer chop to plate, spoon over a small amount of the fruit
mixture and garnish with cilantro.
