Double Mutton chops in Airfryer

A perfect snack

Fried Mutton Chops is a recipe that came to me from my aunt-in-law who is an excellent cook. While the traditional way is to deep fry the chops, I have made it healthier by using the AirFryer. Mutton chops, two a piece, with a layer of spiced potatoes and breadcrumbs, fried evenly to make them crisp from outside makes this a perfect snack for the holiday season, or a perfect meal in itself with some salad on the side to balance.

Tips

1. If you do not have an AirFryer, deep fry the chops and they will taste just as good.
2. If you have some cooked mutton mince at home, roll the chops in mutton mince before the potato layer to enhance the taste.

What is a Double Mutton Chop

Ask your butcher to give two ribs to a cut, that will be a double mutton chop. It ensures more meat per chop, especially if the goat is a small one.

Meat Chop

A meat chop is a cut of meat cut perpendicularly to the spine, and usually containing a rib or riblet part of a vertebra and served as an individual portion. The most common kinds of meat chops are pork and lamb. A thin boneless chop, or one with only the rib bone, may be called a cutlet, though the difference is not always clear.

The term “chop” is not usually used for beef, but a T-bone steak is essentially a loin chop, and a rib steak a rib chop. Chops may be cooked in various ways, including grilling, pan-broiling, sautéeing, braising, breading and frying, and baking. Lamb chops are often cooked with dry heat, grilled or pan-broiled. Pork chops and veal chops are grilled, sautéed, or braised, or breaded and fried (milanese). In South Africa and Namibia the traditional way of cooking chops is to grill them outdoor over open fire coals, called braaiing. Source: Wikipedia

Double chops in Airfryer

Airfryer – how it works

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that works by using high-speed hot air circulation. When the fryer is working, it begins to produce hot air and a mechanical fan begins to circulate it very fast around the food, which fry the food and produces a crispy layer. By circulating air up to 200 Celsius degrees, this appliance fry several foods like potato chips, chicken, fish or pastries and it uses no oil.
