Ginger Spiced Lamb Chops
Lamb is a reasonable choice for those who want to include meat in their diet but are watching their potassium and phosphorus. Lamb is lower in these minerals than beef or pork, and is quite close to chicken, in the same portion size.
Look for organic lamb that is grass-fed, because these animals have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids than those that are factory farmed.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
A pinch black pepper, freshly grounded
4 (3-ounce) lamb chops
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chipotle chile powder, and pepper.
- Add the lamb chops, and turn to coat.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and marinate the chops, turning several times, for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to broil, and set one of the racks in the upper third of the oven.
- Place a wire rack in a baking sheet, and arrange the chops on the rack.
- Broil, turning once, until the chops are browned and cooked to medium doneness, about 8 minutes total.
- Serve sprinkled with the cilantro.
Cooking Tip
Using blackstrap molasses in the place of soy sauce can give the marinade an interesting smoky flavor, and it only has 7 mg of sodium per tablespoon. Though it’s not at all salty, you might enjoy the different taste experience.
