Categories     Dinner

Time 4h40m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 garlic cloves
1 lemon, juiced
6 tbsp ras el hanout spice mix (shop-bought or see tip, below)
2 tbsp olive oil
small shoulder of lamb (about 2kg)
2 red onions, cut into large wedges
400g couscous
100g raisins
400g can chickpeas, drained
small bunch of parsley, chopped
small bunch of coriander, chopped
1 preserved lemon, finely chopped or the juice of ½ lemon

Steps:

  • Using a pestle and mortar or a mini chopper, mash or chop the garlic with a generous pinch of salt, then add the lemon juice, ras el hanout spice mix and olive oil, then pound or chop to a rough paste. Use a small knife to make small incisions all over the lamb. Sit the lamb in a large, shallow casserole dish or deep roasting tin, then rub the paste all over the lamb and into the cuts. Leave at room temperature for 1 hr, or better still cover and chill overnight.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Scatter the onion wedges around the lamb, then cover the dish with a lid or tightly with foil and roast for 3 hrs. Remove from the oven and uncover. Stir the onions and baste the lamb in the juices, then turn the oven up to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and continue to roast the lamb, uncovered, for 25-30 mins until browned.
  • Lift the lamb and onions onto a board to rest and put the kettle on. Stir the couscous and raisins into the lamb dish so they're coated in the roasting juices. Pour over enough boiling water from the kettle to just cover the couscous, then cover the dish and leave for 5 mins. Uncover and fluff the couscous up with a wooden spoon, then stir through the chickpeas, chopped herbs and preserved lemon or lemon juice, and season to taste. Bring the lamb, onions and the couscous to the table to serve.

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 to 8 loin lamb chops
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PEPPERCORNS AND SAVORY MINT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Grilled Lamb Chops with Peppercorns and Savory Mint Sauce Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by SippitySup

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup mint leaves, plus more sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup malt vinegar, apple cider vinegar would be a good substitute
2 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for lamb, to taste
8 lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
multi-colored peppercorns, lightly crushed, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Put 1/2 cup of the mint leaves in a heat-proof medium-sized glass or stainless-steel bowl. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the water to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in the vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook 8 or 10 more minutes, until the sauce reduces some and gets slightly syrupy. Pour the mixture over the mint in the bowl. Let the sauce sit until completely cool. Finely mince the remaining mint leaves. Strain the sauce and add the minced mint. Make the chops: Heat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and the lightly crushed peppercorns, and grill until barely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm or at room temperature with the reserved dipping sauce and mint sprigs if desired.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality lamb chops for the best flavor: look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat.
  • Marinate the lamb chops in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, spices, and herbs: this will help tenderize the chops and infuse them with flavor.
  • Sear the lamb chops over high heat: this will create a nice crust and help lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat and continue cooking the lamb chops until they reach your desired doneness: use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a flavorful sauce or condiment: this will enhance the flavor of the chops and make them even more enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops crusted with ras el hanout seasoning and drenched in garlicky chermoula is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the ras el hanout seasoning and chermoula sauce add a wonderful depth of flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
