Walnut Parsley Marinated Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Gastrique

Valentine's Day is coming up and while I showed you a simple way to surprise someone special, maybe you're looking to put forth a little more effort come dinner.  A rack of lamb, perhaps?  While that makes for the perfect romantic meal, it can also break the bank.   Oh, but did you know there's a way to indulge in all the luxury and richness lamb has to offer that's actually healthier and a quarter of the price?  Any guesses?

Not Your Amma's Rogan Josh

First, a disclaimer: In no way does this recipe claim to be an authentic interpretation of Kashmiri rogan josh, hence the title, "Not Your Amma's (common Indian term for grandma) Rogan Josh."

"Real" rogan josh comes from the Kashmir region of India, where they have Kashmir chilies (mirch/i).  These chilies give the dish its signature red color, but are not necessarily easy to procure in their whole form.  Ground kashmir chilli powder can be found in certain Desi groceries, however, "real" rogan josh is supposed to have the dried whole mirchi.  Paprika is also a common substitute in Indian restaurants due to its color and mild flavor.
