Best 6 Lamb Chops With Peppercorn Garlic Paste Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay chops in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the lamb registers 125 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After cooking the lamb on each side, stand it up on it's edges to brown the sides as well, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat if needed so the browned bits remaining in the pan don't burn. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
• Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, tilting the skillet to keep the garlic submerged in the fat, and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and rosemary, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer over high heat until syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by about half, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and briskly whisk in the butter. When the butter has incorporated, whisk in the mustard and heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve 2 chops per person with the sauce.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PINK PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the marinade for the lamb chops: Combine the oil, mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, rosemary and garlic in a medium bowl. Place the lamb chops in a baking dish or large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, turning to coat. Cover or seal. Marinate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
• Place a grill pan over medium heat until hot. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 135 degrees F for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let rest 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, make the pink peppercorn sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the brandy. (If using a gas cooktop, to avoid flare-ups from the alcohol, remove the pan from the heat before adding the brandy.) Cook until the alcohol cooks off, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and peppercorns. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• To serve, arrange the lamb chops on a platter. Garnish with parsley and rosemary and serve with the pink peppercorn sauce.

Purée, adding just enough liquid to make a thick paste. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until sizzling, then add chili paste. Stir for 1 minute, then gradually add reserved liquid (watch out for spattering) until it forms a thin sauce. Simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
