CRISP LAMB CHOPS WITH AROMATIC WINE SAUCE



Crisp Lamb Chops With Aromatic Wine Sauce image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lamb shanks, cut in thirds
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, half of them unpeeled, half minced
5 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
3 bay leaves
6 sprigs rosemary
3 cups dry red wine
Salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound baking potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, slivered
8 loin lamb chops, 1-inch thick, well-trimmed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place lamb shank pieces, the onion, tomato and unpeeled garlic in a roasting pan and bake, turning once, for 45 minutes. Transfer meat, bones and vegetables to a 4-quart pot. Leave as much fat as possible in the pan and discard. Add parsley, bay leaves, 1 sprig rosemary and wine to pot. Add enough water, 2 cups or more, just to cover ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to very low and simmer, about 3 hours, until liquid is reduced to less than 2 cups.
  • Remove meat and bones. Discard bones and save meat for another use, such as pasta sauce. Strain vegetables and liquid through a fine sieve into a saucepan. Skim off as much fat as possible. Bring liquid to a simmer and cook until reduced to a scant cup, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Add half the potatoes and sauté until lightly browned. Remove and repeat with remaining potatoes. Remove. Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add sun-dried tomatoes, remaining garlic and 1 sprig rosemary and sauté briefly on low. Return potatoes to skillet, cover and cook 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Season chops with salt. Heat remaining oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Cook chops on high about 3 minutes a side for medium-rare. Reheat sauce. Divide potatoes among four warm dinner plates. Place two chops on each. Spoon sauce over chops, garnish with remaining rosemary and serve.

LAMB CHOPS WITH RED WINE AND ROSEMARY SAUCE



Lamb Chops With Red Wine and Rosemary Sauce image

This recipe for this dish is one that I received a while back, in one of my cooking classes on American Bistro. I have since changed and added some ingredients to suit my taste. It is a lovely dish, that is fairly quick, easy to make and very tasty. Most ingredients are ones you may have on hand. The sauce is a lovely compliment to the lamb. Served with a side of wild rice and a green salad or veggie, it is a perfect dinner.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for sauteing
6 sprigs fresh rosemary, bruised
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 rack lamb chops, trimmed (about 3 ounces each)
1/2 cup white chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, plus additional for garnish
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a dish large enough to hold the lamb chops in a single layer, combine half the lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, the rosemary, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Add the lamb, turn to coat with the marinade and set aside for about 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute. Pat the chops dry and season on 1 side with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly coat the surface of the pan. Working in batches if needed, add the chops seasoned side down to the pan. Cook until crisp and brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season the top side with salt and pepper, turn, and continue cooking until just firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Allow the chops to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add half the remaining lemon juice and simmer until the mixture is reduced to a glaze, about 4 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the basil and olives and season.

SAUTéED LAMB CHOPS WITH RAMPS, ANCHOVY, CAPERS AND OLIVES



Sautéed Lamb Chops With Ramps, Anchovy, Capers and Olives image

Wild spring ramps are an earthy aromatic twist to this otherwise traditional approach to lamb chops. But you can just as easily use minced garlic or young green garlic shoots from the farmers' market. Any of these pungent alliums harmonize with the other bold ingredients. The anchovy mellows, melting into the chunky sauce, and the flavorful, meaty olives, briny capers and crushed red pepper keep everything lively, along with a squeeze of lemon.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 lamb chops (about 2 pounds), trimmed
Salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons roughly chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as necessary
1 large shallot, diced
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
6 wild ramps, white part finely chopped and green tops reserved, or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon small capers or roughly chopped larger capers
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted olives, a mixture of black and green
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or less to taste
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup hot chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper, sprinkle with rosemary, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Put a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. When oil is hot, add chops in one layer, without crowding. (If necessary, use two pans or work in batches.)
  • Cook chops until nicely browned on first side, about 4 to 5 minutes. (Maintain brisk heat, but adjust if they seem to be browning too quickly.) Flip chops and cook to medium-rare, until red juices rise on surface, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove chops to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Return pan to stovetop over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if pan looks dry, then add shallot and cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add anchovies, mashing them with the back of a spoon, to combine.
  • Add chopped ramps (or garlic, if using), capers, olives and red pepper and stir to incorporate shallot mixture. Raise heat to high and add white wine. Cook rapidly until reduced by half. Add chicken broth and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and zest and turn off heat.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop reserved green ramp tops, if using, and mix with chopped parsley. Stir parsley mixture into sauce. Spoon sauce generously over lamb chops and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid chops that are brown or have any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the lamb chops generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Rest the lamb chops before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Make sure the aromatic wine sauce is simmered for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Crisp Lamb Chops with Aromatic Wine Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
