LAMB CHOPS WITH GREEN TOMATOES



Lamb Chops With Green Tomatoes image

Lamb chops cooked with tomatoes is traditional, but less so when the tomatoes are green. Here, unripe, green tomatoes add acidity, which works nicely with the rich gaminess of the shoulder chops. If you can't get green tomatoes, you can make this with the half-green, half-red tomatoes, the kind that haven't fully ripened on the vine before they need to be picked in advance of a frost. In a pinch you can even use tomatillos or bland, out-of-season supermarket tomatoes, which will add the necessary juiciness and vegetable matter to the pan if not the same complexity of flavor (a squeeze of lemon would help). In any case, make sure to taste before stirring in the honey, since the acid content of tomatoes varies widely. And if you aren't a lamb lover but are wondering what to do with a plethora of green tomatoes, you can make this recipe with pork chops; just add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (1-inch thick) bone-in shoulder lamb chops or boneless sirloin lamb chops
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
2 large shallots, chopped
6 anchovy fillets
3 1/2 cups diced green tomatoes (2 to 3 tomatoes)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons honey, to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Season lamb chops with coriander, salt and pepper. If you have time, let meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Heat a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; once it thins and runs all over the pan, add lamb. Cook meat, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook other side until golden, about 2 minutes more. It should still be very rare inside. Transfer lamb to a plate.
  • Return skillet to heat and lower flame to medium. Stir in shallots and anchovies. Cook, stirring, until anchovies dissolve, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, garlic and a large pinch of salt. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook until tomatoes are almost softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in honey. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Push tomatoes to side of skillet. Place lamb back in center of skillet. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook lamb to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes more for medium-rare (or longer if you like). To serve, spoon tomatoes over chops, garnish generously with basil and drizzle with more olive oil.

SPICE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES



Spice-Rubbed Lamb Chops with Roasted Tomatoes image

Categories     Lamb     Tomato     Bake     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 plum tomatoes, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 teaspoons olive oil
two 3/4-to 1-inch-thick shoulder lamb chops (8 to 10 ounces each)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly oil a baking pan.
  • Arrange tomatoes in one layer in prepared pan and brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Roast tomatoes in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until browned lightly, and keep warm.
  • Pat lamb chops dry. In a small dish stir together cumin, salt, and pepper and rub mixture on both sides of lamb chops.
  • In a 9-inch heavy non-stick skillet heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook lamb chops 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Transfer lamb chops to 2 plates and serve with roasted tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat. This will help sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb chops 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.
  • Serve the lamb chops with roasted tomatoes and hummus. The roasted tomatoes add a sweet and tangy flavor, while the hummus provides a creamy and savory contrast.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends or family, give lamb chops with roasted tomatoes and hummus a try!
