  • Total Time: 53 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb cutlets
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine pineapple chunks, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, and cumin. Blend until smooth.

For a milder glaze, remove seeds from chipotle peppers before blending.
