Description

These air fryer lamb shoulder chops are rich, juicy, and packed with bold flavor thanks to a simple marinade of wine, garlic, vinegar, and herbs. This easy recipe delivers tender meat with crisp edges using minimal effort, making it perfect for a quick but impressive dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lamb shoulder chops (bone-in)
  • 1/3 cup red wine
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Mix red wine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, mustard, coriander, rosemary, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place lamb chops in a bowl and coat with marinade. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, flipping occasionally.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  4. Place chops in the basket and cook for 6 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

Marinating is key for tender and flavorful chops. Avoid overcooking to prevent toughness. Use a thermometer for best doneness. Let the meat rest before serving to retain juices. You can substitute wine with broth if preferred.
