LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Lamb Chops with Garlic and Rosemary image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings (1/2 cup sauce)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 (6-ounce) loin lamb chops, fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons heavy cream

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.

SIMPLE ROSEMARY LAMB CHOPS



Simple Rosemary Lamb Chops image

The simplest of treatments often brings out the best of flavours. Do these in the fry pan or on a BBQ. We like our lamb chops cooked though rather than pink... and we often use more olive oil than stated because then the fat around the edge of the chops caramalises and gets lovely and crispy. Cooking time is approximate because it really depends on how rare to well done you prefer your meat and how thick your chops are. *DO* pick these up and eat them with your fingers. Guests thought we were mad but after trying them, sticky fingers all around the table were diving into the serving dish for more! I have some small hand towels that I dampen slightly and wrap well in cling film before everyone arrives. Put them in the microwave for a minute or so, hand them out to guests to clean their hands on afterwards, but be careful, there will be a lot of steam as the first bit of cling film comes off, but it's a classy cleanup and guest will be impressed :) ZWT REGION: New Zealand.

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

  • If you like your chops to be cooked though, turn the heat down just a little at this point so that they don't burn.
  • Drain off the excess fat and serve with the remaining rosemary sprinkled on top.

OVEN-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS



Oven-Roasted Lamb Chops image

Never having lamb before I didn't "think" I liked lamb. When your MIL is 100% Greek you know you will have to fix it for her son! I asked her to show me one night and wrote it down. These oven lamb chops are so easy and tender, perfect for when you don't have a crowd to feed!

Provided by Lucky Noodles

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 ounce) lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tablespoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup mint jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
  • Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid chops that are brown or have a lot of fat.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the lamb chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can marinate the lamb chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside. You can cook the lamb chops in a grill pan, a cast iron skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for lamb chops include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Rosemary roast lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. By following these tips, you can make sure that your lamb chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful.
