Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 1-pound racks lamb, frenched
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for searing
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
6 cloves garlic, 4 peeled and smashed, 2 finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper and place in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
  • Whisk 1/3 cup of the olive oil, the rosemary, smashed garlic, lemon juice and some salt and pepper together in a measuring cup. Pour the marinade into the bag with the lamb. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a heavy-duty sheet tray with foil.
  • Combine the mustard and honey together in a small bowl and set aside. Add the panko, Parmesan, parsley, chives and the remaining 2 cloves garlic to a small bowl and toss together. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and mix together.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and once very hot, sear the lamb, 1 rack at a time, fat-side down first, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place fat-side up on the prepared sheet tray.
  • Brush both racks with the honey mustard and apply each with the panko and herb mixture. Roast the lamb until an instant-read thermometer reads 140 degrees F, for medium, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before carving into chops.

HERB-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS



Herb-Roasted Lamb Chops image

DH and I made this recipe from the February 2009 edition of Bon Appetit a few nights ago and really enjoyed it. We usually prepare our lamb chops on the grill, but I thought that this recipe would lend itself well when grilling is just not practical. I am posting the recipe as printed in Bon Appetit, however, DH suggested that next time I chop the rosemary and thyme leaves, rather than lightly crush them with my mortar and pestel. Prep time includes marinating time.

  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the lamb chops: Lamb chops are best cooked medium-rare or medium. Overcooked lamb chops will be tough and dry.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops turn out perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
