Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For lamb
2 (8-rib) frenched racks of lamb (each rack 1 1/2 lb), trimmed of all but a thin layer of fat
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
For herb coating
1/2 head new garlic or 3 large regular garlic cloves, minced

ITALIAN HERB-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS



Italian Herb-Rubbed Lamb Chops image

This is another one of those recipes that I threw together at the last minute and turned out delicious. The chops turn out crispy on the outside and slightly pink and juicy on the inside.

Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lamb chops, 1/2-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, dried (broken into smaller pieces in the palm of your hand)
1/4 teaspoon basil, dried
1/4 teaspoon sage, ground, dried
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high temperature, heat olive oil until glistening.
  • Meanwhile combine oregano, rosemary, basil, sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle rub mixture evenly onto both sides of chops and gently rub/pat until it adheres to the chops.
  • Fry chops for 5-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Opt for chops that are evenly marbled and bright red in color. Avoid chops that have a lot of visible fat or that are brown or gray in color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices. Marinate the chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Cook the chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful. Let the chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Italian herb-rubbed lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb chops are marinated in a flavorful blend of herbs and spices, then grilled or pan-fried to perfection. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
