1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
Four 4-ounce lamb chops
1 bunch fresh mint
1/4 cup fresh parsley

1 sweet potato
2 tablespoons sour cream
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the spice rub and lamb: Stir together the salt, pepper, coriander, cayenne and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops on both sides with the spice rub. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the mint sauce.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 15 to 20 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 rack of lamb (choose the smallest racks possible) Frenched and cleaned
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain yogurt
1 lime, juiced
3 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
Salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • For the lamb chops:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Over high heat, preheat a large skillet with cooking oil. Liberally season the racks of lamb with salt and fresh ground pepper. Place the meat in the pan and sear all sides over high heat until evenly browned. Place the racks on a sheet pan and place in the oven to finish cooking. See Chef's Note 1. For medium rare, about 8 minutes; medium, about 10 minutes; and well done, about 15 minutes. These are general guidelines but the cooking times will vary depending on the size of the rack.
  • After they are finished cooking in the oven, remove the racks and allow them to rest approximately 10 minutes. Cutting from the meat side of the rack, so that you can better visualize the chop size, cut each chop individually.
  • For the yogurt:
  • Place the yogurt, lime juice and garlic in a blender and puree on high speed until blended. While blending, slowly incorporate the mint and season with salt, cayenne, and cumin.
  • For assembly:
  • Liberally cover a nice serving platter with the yogurt sauce. Arrange the chops on the platter and decorate with extra mint leaves and pinches of paprika.

Yield Makes about 12 chops

Number Of Ingredients 8

For the dipping sauce
1/3 cup white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon minced fresh mint leaves
12 single New Zealand baby rib lamb chops, wholly frenched to the eye (about 2 pound)
1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
White pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce:
  • In a small saucepan combine the vinegar and the sugar and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the mint and let the sauce cool. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and transfer it to a small bowl.
  • Pat the chops dry, rub them with the cut sides of the garlic, and sprinkle both sides of the chops with the thyme and the white pepper. Grill the chops in a well-oiled ridged grill pan over moderately high het for 1 minutes to 1 1/2 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops, on each side for rare meat. (Alternatively, the chops may be broiled under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes on each side for rare meat.) Serve the chops with the dipping sauce.

DIJON BABY LAMB CHOPS WITH RED CURRANT-MINT DIPPING SAUCE

When buying the racks of lamb, be sure to ask the butcher to "french" (or trim away meat and fat from) the bones.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 racks baby lamb chops (8 ribs and about 1 1/4 pounds each), frenched
Mint sprigs, for garnish
1 1/2 cups red-currant jelly
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 cup coarsely chopped mint leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the lamb: Stir together mustard, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture all over lamb. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours (or up to overnight).
  • Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: Whisk together jelly, vinegar, and the water in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in mint.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring lamb to room temperature. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Just before serving, cut lamb racks into individual chops. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve with dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lamb chops: Look for chops that are about 1/2-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and juicy.
  • Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender.
  • Don't overcook the chops: Lamb chops are best cooked medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chops with a dipping sauce: The minted vinegar dipping sauce in this recipe is a great way to add flavor and brightness to the chops.

Conclusion:

These tiny rib lamb chops with minted vinegar dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chops are tender and juicy, with a nice crust on the outside. The dipping sauce is bright and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the chops. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
