SPICE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly oil a baking pan.
- Arrange tomatoes in one layer in prepared pan and brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Roast tomatoes in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until browned lightly, and keep warm.
- Pat lamb chops dry. In a small dish stir together cumin, salt, and pepper and rub mixture on both sides of lamb chops.
- In a 9-inch heavy non-stick skillet heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook lamb chops 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Transfer lamb chops to 2 plates and serve with roasted tomatoes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid chops that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Use a flavorful spice rub. The spice rub is what gives the lamb chops their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the spice rub to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the lamb chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare lamb chops, cook them to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium lamb chops, cook them to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Spice-rubbed lamb chops with roasted tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb chops are tender and flavorful, and the roasted tomatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
