Ingredients

1/4 cup salted capers, soaked for 30 minutes, drained, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon minced garlic
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Stir the first 7 ingredients and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Set the salsa verde aside. Place the lamb in a 15 by 10 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Rub the minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes all over lamb. Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde over the lamb, turning the lamb to coat evenly. Use immediately, or cover the dish and remaining salsa verde separately with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.

Cut the lamb across grain into thin slices. Arrange the lamb slices on a platter. Serve the remaining salsa verde alongside.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS IN MINT SALSA VERDE

Grilled Lamb Chops in Mint Salsa Verde image

A Saveur recipe.Wow!.I had this as the main dish at my 21st birthday.Everyone loved this,even the people that weren't big on lamb!The way the briney-ness of the anchovies and capers combined with the refreshing herbs was delicious-and helped cut some of the smoky richness.Think Mediterranean salsa verde,not Mexican.Don't be afraid to splurge on a nice olive oil for this if you can afford to:it's definitely worth it and the flavor will shine through in every bite.You could substitute dried tarragon in a pinch,but you should definitely not use dried parsley or mint because it makes up so much of the salsa's body.If you double the recipe only make the one recipe's worth of sauce as this really makes more than you need.You won't mind the leftovers though;the flavors continue to meld and improve as the sauce sits overnight.It's still good a couple of days later if you refrigerate it . I haven't given detailed instructions for how to start a fire/when it's ready;I think most people already how,but in case you don't ,there are plenty of other sources that can instruct you on the best way to do it better than I can,so please don't make this and tell me it turned out badly because I didn't spell it out step by step;take responsibility for your own grilling!:) From Saveur Issue 123,October 2009.

Drizzle with some of the sauce,serving the rest on the side.

Tips:

Choose the right lamb chops: Look for chops that are about 1 1/2 inches thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Lamb chops are best served medium-rare or medium.
Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chop.
Serve the chops with a flavorful sauce or salsa: The mint and pistachio salsa verde in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use a simple lemon-butter sauce or a red wine reduction.

Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. This recipe for lamb chops with mint and pistachio salsa verde is a great way to enjoy this flavorful meat. The chops are cooked over high heat to create a nice crust, then finished in the oven to ensure that they are cooked through.
