*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Dundee Lamb Chops*

*Thanks to Mrs Keiller of Dundee, who bought a load of surplus oranges and made them into marmalade, Dundee is forever associated with that fruit (and jute and journalism as well as jam). So whenever marmalade is added to a recipe (as here) it immediately becomes "Dundee". The quantities below will serve four (unless the chops are very small or the appetites are large).*

## Ingredients

- Four leg of lamb chops

2.5 fluid ounces (75ml or five tablespoons) vinegar

Half teaspoon ground ginger

4 tablespoons marmalade - from Keiller's of Dundee to be authentic!

4 slices orange for garnish

2 ounces (60g or half stick) butter

2½ fluid ounces (75ml) water

Half teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper

## Method

You will need a frying pan with a heavy base and a close-fitting lid. First, brown the chops in the butter. Sprinkle the ginger, paprika, salt and pepper over the chops and add water and vinegar. Place a generous tablespoon of marmalade on the top of each chop. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 45 minutes on a very low heat. If required, add a little extra water.
 Serve with a twist of orange on top of the chops and with boiled potatoes and fresh vegetables.
