Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 lamb shoulder chops (each about 10 ounces and 1 inch thick)
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Using an immersion blender or a food processor, combine egg, garlic, and herbs. With the machine running, pour in oils in a slow, steady stream, blending until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a dish, press plastic wrap on surface, and refrigerate while lamb is cooking.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Season lamb with salt and pepper, and grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with aioli and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color with a slight marbling of fat. Avoid chops that are pale or have a lot of yellow fat, as these will be less flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside. You can cook the chops on a grill, a grill pan, or in a cast iron skillet.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
