Product description

A Proper Double Chop with Real Yorkshire Character
We like our Barnsley chops cut properly thick, anything less would feel like a waste of a great cut. Prepared by our team of expert butchers, a true Barnsley chop includes both the sirloin and fillet, giving it the tenderness, flavour and substance that have made it such an enduring favourite.

Cut across the saddle of the lamb, this generous double chop comes with a long Yorkshire back story. The tale goes that, in the late 19th century, Barnsley chops were served to farmers on market days, a chop to match both the appetite and exuberance of those fine Yorkshire folk.

Inspiration from Chef George Ryle
“Barnsley lamb chops cook beautifully either on a grill over coals or pan roasted, ideally to a blushing pink, with beautifully rendered, crisp fat. Serve on a bed of barley cooked in lamb stock, with a couple of glazed carrots and a big dollop of mint jelly. Or with purple sprouting broccoli, cooked with plenty of chilli, garlic and anchovy, some breadcrumbs fried in olive oil are perfect sprinkled over the top of this ensemble.

Hasselback potatoes would be a sensible option; cooking them in lamb fat rather than oil is a fitting twist for this dish. Swiss chard or red Russian kale, steamed and then dressed with oil, garlic and a touch of lemon zest, would be a good bedfellow to those naughty little spuds. Alternatively, perhaps a simple but unfailingly delicious side of creamed spinach; done properly, it is a dish of depth and comfort, and a perfect accompaniment to these Barnsley chops.”

Ingredients

Grass-fed lamb, reared on the native pastures of the Yorkshire Dales.

Cooking advice

  1. Take the chops out of the fridge, remove the packaging, pat dry with kitchen paper, place on a plate, and allow to reach room temperature.
  2. Lightly oil* the chops and season generously with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over low to moderate heat.
  4. Place the chops rind-side down in the dry pan, balanced against each other, and let the fat render for approximately 5-minutes.
  5. Increase the heat to high, and once the pan is smoking, turn the chops onto their sides and reduce the heat slightly.
  6. Cook for 90-seconds on one side, resisting the urge to move them to allow a rich golden crust to form.
  7. Repeat on the other side then turn every 30-seconds or so for a total cooking time of 6-8 minutes, best eaten medium-rare.
  8. Remove from the pan and let rest for 6-minutes.

*Select an oil with a high smoking point and neutral flavour.

Background

Distinctive Yorkshire Flavour from Hardy Native Breeds
Swaledale lambs roam freely across the Yorkshire Dales, moving between valleys and hilltops as they forage. The limestone pastures of this upland landscape support a natural mix of herbs, grasses and wildflowers, which help give the meat its rich colour and distinctive flavour. Robust and slightly sweet in character, with a subtle herbal undertone, the provenance is unmistakably Yorkshire.

Cut from hardy native breeds reared on these limestone pastures, our Barnsley chops offer the depth of flavour, tenderness and character that define Swaledale lamb. Always Fresh Never Frozen®, they are expertly prepared to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.
