Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 loin lamb chops
Coarse salt and coarse black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
2 teaspoons ground coriander, 1/3 palm full
2 teaspoons sweet paprika, 1/3 palm full
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 green bell peppers, seeded and cubed, 1-inch pieces
1 large yellow skinned onion, cubed, 1-inch pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups couscous
5 or 6 sprigs fresh mint, finely chopped, about 3 tablespoons

Steps:

  • Cover the chops with waxed paper or plastic and whack each chop with the heel of your palm to flatten it out. Season chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Combine cumin, coriander and paprika and sprinkle the mixture evenly over chops. Pat the spices in place and wash up. Let chops stand 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add peppers and onions. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and cook together 5 minutes, then add grape tomatoes and continue to cook until skins begin to burst on tomatoes. Add half the flat-leaf parsley to the skillet and toss. Transfer vegetables to a platter and cover with loose foil to hold heat.
  • Place a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a small pot for couscous, just eyeball the amount. Heat oil over medium heat and add garlic. Saute garlic 1 minute then add the pine nuts to toast a little. Add chicken stock to the pot and bring it up to a boil. Add couscous, remove from heat, and cover the pot. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Return skillet to stove and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan. Add lamb chops to skillet and sear 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, cook 4 minutes on each side for medium well chops. Place chops on top of the peppers and onions.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in mint and the remaining parsley. Pass couscous at the table. It makes a nice bed for the veggies and lamb to catch all the juices.

LAMB CHOPS



Lamb Chops image

When you think of finger foods, thoughts generally gravitate toward something small and wrapped in bacon. For a more elegant approach, roasted meat is the way to go. If you can get small lamb chops (teeny-tiny but not fussy), cover the bones in scallion ''sleeves" for a whimsical look and a practical touch. If your guests don't mind, they'll have a built-in utensil - something like a lamb lollipop.

Time 30m

Yield 8 appetizer servings, 4 dinner servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 rack (8 ribs) New Zealand baby lamb, trimmed of excess fat and Frenched by your butcher
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Leaves from 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the lamb with the salt and pepper.
  • Mix the oil, garlic and rosemary. Spoon half on the lamb and grill 1 minute per side. Place on a sheet pan and cover with the rest of the marinade. Roast in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reaches 125 degrees for rare, 130 degrees for medium rare.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then slice off individual chops and serve with sea salt for dipping. (S.R.O. uses tiny lamb chops, which fit into scallion ''sleeves.'' The racks generally sold by your butcher will be too big for this touch.)

LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND ONIONS



Lamb Chops with Balsamic Vinegar and Onions image

Categories     Lamb     Onion     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large lamb loin chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
4 small garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons currants
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

Steps:

  • Season both sides of lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb to skillet. Sprinkle onions over lamb. Cook until lamb is brown, stirring onions occasionally, about 7 minutes. Turn lamb chops and cook on second sides until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to platter; cover with foil and keep warm.
  • Add garlic to onions in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Stir in currants and sauté 1 minute longer. Add remaining ingredients and boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon onion mixture over lamb chops.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively thin or have a lot of gristle.
  • Season the chops generously: Lamb chops have a strong flavor, so don't be afraid to season them liberally. Use a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also marinate the chops for a few hours or overnight to infuse them with even more flavor.
  • Cook the chops over high heat: Lamb chops are best cooked over high heat so that they develop a nice crust on the outside while remaining juicy and tender on the inside. Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or grill pan to get the best results.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Lamb chops are typically cooked to medium-rare or medium, but you can cook them to your liking.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: Once the chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops on a bed of peppers and onions is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a special occasion dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
