Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound lamb rib chops
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Check for doneness: At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough. If you would like your chops more cooked, you can put them in a 400°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or keep them in the hot pan, lower the heat to warm, and cover the pan for a few minutes. Note that rib chops are so small, and cook so quickly, checking for internal temperature with a thermometer can be impractical. For this reason I use the finger test to check the doneness of the chops. That said, if you have an instant read thermometer and want to check thick chops, aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, and 140°F for medium.
  • Rest the chops: When done, remove the chops from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

CLASSIC ROSEMARY LAMB CHOPS



Classic Rosemary Lamb Chops image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 bunch fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
12 baby lamb chops (about 1-inch thick), Frenched
Flaked salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary and some salt and pepper in a zip-top bag. Add the lamb chops and rub with the marinade. Seal the bag and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat. Remove the chops from the bag and wipe off excess marinade. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chops with a little flaked salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color.
  • Trim the lamb chops of excess fat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Season the lamb chops liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the lamb chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will create a flavorful crust and help to keep the chops juicy.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the lamb chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Rosemary and thyme are two herbs that pair perfectly with lamb. Their earthy, aromatic flavors complement the richness of the lamb and help to create a delicious and memorable dish. This recipe for rosemary-thyme lamb chops is a great way to enjoy this classic combination. The chops are seared until browned and then cooked in a flavorful marinade made with rosemary, thyme, garlic, and olive oil.
