Lamb Chops With Cilantro-Mint Chimichurri image

This is an adaptation of a chimichurri sauce served over grilled meat. In this case, it's a cilantro mint chimichurri topping some broiled lamb chops. I would imagine the chimichurri would be great over steak, chicken or pork, too. The chimichurri is best eaten the day it is made, due to the fresh herbs used. Recipe courtesty of Ingrid Hoffmann.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup cilantro leaf, packed
1/2 cup parsley, fresh flat-leaf
2 tablespoons mint leaves
1 -2 serrano chili, halved (seeded and ribbed if you want less heat)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 lamb loin chops, 1 inch thick each, trimmed of excess fat
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons rosemary, fresh, chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Chimichurri:.
  • Combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, serrano chile, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey and salt into a food processor bowl and pulse into a paste. With the food processor running, gradually add the olive oil, continuing to process until the sauce is smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary. Transfer the chimichurri to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refreigerate for up to 3 hours. *Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Lamb:.
  • Prehat broiler to high and place the oven rack at its highest position.
  • Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add the lamb chops and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Add the rosemary and the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the lamb is still pink in the center, about 5 minutes or so.
  • Serve the chops from the oven with a spoonful of the chimichurri drizzled on top. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite lamb chop recipes. The meat is always cooked perfectly and the chimichurri sauce is so flavorful. I love to serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables.

I'm not a very experienced cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and the lamb chops turned out great! The chimichurri sauce was also very easy to make and added a lot of flavor to the dish. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much chili pepper in the chimichurri sauce. Next time I'll use less and see how it turns out.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The chimichurri sauce was also very good, but I found it to be a bit too oily. Next time I'll try using less olive oil.

The lamb chops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the chimichurri sauce was amazing! I'll definitely be using that sauce again on other dishes.
