Best 5 Herb And Garlic Lamb With Green Olive Salad Recipes

SAUTEED LAMB WITH GREEN OLIVES

Steps:

• Pit the olives and blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 2 minutes, then refresh them under cold water. Peel, quarter and seed the tomatoes and set aside.
• In a large, heavy casserole, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the lamb. Raise the heat to high and brown the lamb on all sides. Sprinkle in the flour and stir and saute for 1 minute or until the flour adheres to the meat. Add the olives, tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme and crushed garlic. Season sparingly with salt and pepper. (The olives are salty.) Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Transfer the lamb, olives and the liquid to a deep serving bowl. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve with boiled potatoes or steamed rice.

GARLIC AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, bread crumbs, and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to chop, then add enough olive oil until a paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper. Press paste firmly onto surface of lamb chops. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saute pan and brown each side of the chops, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the crust to integrate into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, for approximately 6 to 8 additional minutes.

MARINATED LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice and zest, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Place lamb chops in large zip top bag. Pour marinade over and close bag. Massage marinade into chops and marinate at room temperature at least 20 minutes and up to one hour.
• Heat grill pan over medium heat and grill 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Rest one or two minutes before serving.
• If desired, chops can be broiled. Preheat broiler to high, broil chops 2-3 minutes per side.

GARLIC AND HERB LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Puncture the leg of lamb with the tip of a knife just far enough to insert slivers of garlic into the holes. Mix together the dill, salt and rosemary, and rub over the leg of lamb. Place the lamb, fatty side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Roast uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, to an internal temperature of 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium. Tent with aluminum foil and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. The lamb will continue to cook a little bit, and the juices will set up better for carving.

LAMB BRAISED WITH GREEN OLIVES

Steps:

• Warm the oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, and saute the rosemary, garlic and red-pepper flakes over low-medium heat for 4 or 5 minutes, until the garlic begins to turn golden. Add enough lamb to fit comfortably in the pan, and saute, turning several times, until it is evenly browned. Transfer it to a platter. Repeat until all the lamb is cooked, adding oil as needed.
• Add the wine and the bouillon cube or broth to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced by about half. Return the lamb to the pan, add the tomato, cover and cook over very low heat for about 1 hour, until the lamb is easily pierced with the tip of a knife.
• Let the lamb sit for a few hours or overnight and reheat it. Skim off any fat, cover and simmer for half an hour, stirring in the olives during the last 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve.
