Steps:
- Let the lamb chops sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry and season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or other heavy pan on medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and heat for a minute, then carefully place the lamb chops in the pan, leaving a little space between them.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until seared on the bottom side, then flip with tongs and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side to sear.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Spoon the melted butter, garlic, and herbs over the lamb chops while continuing to cook for about 5 more minutes or until the temperature on a digital meat thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the lamb chops reaches 125 degrees F for medium-rare. See notes for additional information about cooking temperatures and degrees of doneness.
- Remove from the lamb chops from the heat, cover with a piece of foil, then let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED GARLIC HORSERADISH SAUCE
Steps:
- To make pepper mixture combine black and white peppers, cayenne, and marjoram. Cover tightly and store in a cool place. Use to season red meats and game before cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add garlic cloves and saute for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place in preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven. Remove garlic from pan and cool. Set aside until ready to use.
- Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add shallots, lamb bones, and pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add thyme, chicken stock, and demi-glace and bring to a boil. Skim off scum. Lower heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until sauce is reduced by one-third. Remove lamb bones and strain into a small saucepan. Add roasted garlic and grated horseradish. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Let sauce sit for 5 minutes to capture as much flavor from the garlic and horseradish as possible. Season with salt and lemon juice. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill. Make sure grates are clean and lightly rub or brush with oil. Brush chops with 3 tablespoons peanut oil and season to taste with salt and pepper mixture. Grill chops about 2 minutes or just long enough to mark one side. Turn chops and cook for about 2 minutes longer for medium-rare. Increase cooking time slightly for medium doneness. Remove chops from grill.
- Spoon Roasted Garlic Horseradish Sauce over the bottom of 4 warm dinner plates. Place 4 grilled lamb chops along the top of each plate, bones to the center. Garnish plates with sprigs of marjoram. Serve immediately.

TURKISH LAMB CHOPS WITH SUMAC, TAHINI, AND DILL
Steps:
- Prepare the lamb:
- Combine the Turkish red pepper, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a small bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the spice mixture, and toast until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a mortar or spice grinder, add the salt and black pepper, and either pound or briefly grind until you get a coarse-textured spice mix. Don't overdo it if you've gone electric here-the coarse texture is an essential part of the dish.
- Pat the spice mixture all over the lamb chops, and let them marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or uncovered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Make the tahini sauce:
- While the lamb is marinating, in a food processor, blend the lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Then add the tahini and ground cumin, and blend until a thick paste forms. With the processor running, gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth enough to drizzle.
- Heat a grill or broiler to high.
- Drizzle the chops lightly with olive oil. Grill the chops until they are charred on the outside and cooked to taste within (or broil the chops on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet). Cooking time will depend on how thick your chops are, so watch them carefully: 2-inch-thick bone-in chops will take at least 3 to 5 minutes per side for rare. You'll need less time for thinner chops, and more time if you like them cooked medium rare or beyond. Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, drizzle the tahini sauce over the chops, and garnish them with the dill sprigs. Add a dusting of the red sumac if you like.
