Grilled Lamb Chops with Garlic Mustard Cream

I enjoy adding my own twist on classic flavors; an hour later, we devoured grilled lamb chops with garlic mustard cream. There is something magical about grilled meat and a cream sauce, especially when its nicely balanced. The cream needed a zing, an “ah ha” moment, a zippy tantalizer for the taste buds. So a little bit of yellow curry later, a beautiful garlic mustard cream with the depth of curry and complexity was born.

This week’s supper challenge theme of “ketchup, mustard and/or relish” likely triggers thoughts of burgers and hot dogs. I must be spending too much time at Bistro SmellaQue, as I have been thinking about mustard based cream sauce all week. It seems perfect really – caramelized garlic, kick of mustard, rich smoothness of cream… Grilled Lamb Chops with Garlic Mustard Cream! Boy, I might be hungry again!
