LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI



Lamb With Mint Chimichurri image

Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising that's requisite this times of year. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Chops

Time 4h25m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds lamb loin chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon mixed herbs - Italian, Greek, or French blend
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt as needed
¼ cup orange marmalade
1 pinch hot chili flakes
½ tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Place lamb chops in a large bowl. Season with olive oil, garlic, cumin, mixed herbs, pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Toss until well coated with oil and seasonings. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place lamb chops on grill. Sprinkle the chops with a bit of salt. Grill until seared on the first side, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops. Rotate chops a half turn on the grill about a minute before turning them. Turn and grill the other side to desired doneness, another 4 to 7 minutes. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should bead 125 to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.
  • Place marmalade in bowl. Add chili flakes, mint, and rice vinegar. Stir together thoroughly.
  • Brush the sauce over the chops and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For grilling, choose a tender cut like a leg of lamb, loin chops, or rib chops. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly on the grill.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat before cooking the lamb. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Cook the lamb over indirect heat: Once the grill is preheated, move the lamb to one side of the grill and cook it over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the lamb from overcooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the lamb should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the lamb rest before serving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled marinated lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill lamb that is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve the lamb with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
