2 racks of lamb (8 ribs each), frenched
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds fingerling potatoes
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 large shallot, minced
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

PEPPER-CRUSTED LAMB WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES



Pepper-Crusted Lamb with Roasted Vegetables image

Here's a bistro-style entrée that's easy to make using supermarket ingredients and the oven does most of the heavy lifting. While the broccolini and potatoes roast up to crispy perfection virtually unsupervised, you'll get to work coating lamb loin chops in crushed black peppercorns and giving them a good sear in a skillet. A quick pan sauce made with shallots and red wine ties everything together for a delicious and surprisingly simple meal.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 bunch Broccolini, trimmed
8 lamb loin chops, each 1 1/2 inches thick (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, crushed with a heavy pan
1/2 shallot, finely diced (1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and toss. Roast about 15 minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 loin lamb chops, each 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds total)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons safflower oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season chops with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Place in skillet and cook until chops reach 130 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Rack of Lamb: Opt for a rack of lamb that is evenly marbled and has a good amount of fat, as this will help keep the lamb moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Preparing the Lamb: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb and season it generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder, to taste.
  • Cooking the Lamb: Roast the rack of lamb in a preheated oven at a high temperature for a short period of time, then reduce the temperature and continue cooking until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
  • Making the Caramelized Fingerling Potatoes: To achieve perfectly caramelized fingerling potatoes, toss them in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast them in the oven at a high temperature until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Preparing the Orange-Oregano Sauce: Combine orange juice, chicken broth, white wine, oregano, and honey in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.

Conclusion:

The combination of tender rack of lamb, caramelized fingerling potatoes, and tangy orange-oregano sauce creates a delightful and memorable dining experience. This dish is perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress your guests with your culinary skills. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal that is sure to satisfy.
