Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for sauteing
6 sprigs fresh rosemary, bruised
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 rack lamb chops, trimmed (about 3 ounces each)
1/2 cup white chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, plus additional for garnish
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a dish large enough to hold the lamb chops in a single layer, combine half the lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, the rosemary, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Add the lamb, turn to coat with the marinade and set aside for about 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute. Pat the chops dry and season on 1 side with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly coat the surface of the pan. Working in batches if needed, add the chops seasoned side down to the pan. Cook until crisp and brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season the top side with salt and pepper, turn, and continue cooking until just firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Allow the chops to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour off any fat left in the pan. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the chicken stock, and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add half the remaining lemon juice and simmer until the mixture is reduced to a glaze, about 4 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the basil and olives and season. Return the lamb chops to the sauce and toss and turn to coat thoroughly with sauce. Arrange chops on a platter, pour sauce over shops and garnish with basil leaves.

LAMB - BABY LAMB CHOPS WITH ARTICHOKES AND EGG-LEMON SAUCE RECIPE



Lamb - Baby Lamb Chops with Artichokes and Egg-Lemon Sauce Recipe image

Provided by Pascento96

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 baby lamb rib chops
Sea salt, preferably gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 recipe Roasted Artichokes, quarters halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. Season the chops with salt and pepper. Just before you are ready to cook, dip the chops in the flour to coat both sides lightly. Shake off the excess. Heat a heavy 14-inch skillet over high heat. When the skillet is very hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and swirl to coat, then add the chops. Sear them on one side until you see bloody juices rising, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and cook for about 30 seconds on the second side. Transfer to a platter and keep warm in a low oven. Pour off the excess fat in the skillet. Return the skillet to high heat, add the wine, and stir with a wooden spoon to release any flavorful bits stuck to the skillet. Add the stock or broth and simmer until reduced by one-third. Pour the reduced liquid into a bowl and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Return the skillet to moderately high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When hot, add the parsley and garlic and sauté briefly to release their fragrance. Add the artichokes and stir to coat with the seasonings, then return the liquid to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then remove the skillet from the heat and add the egg-lemon mixture. Swirl the pan constantly until the eggs thicken the sauce, which will happen quickly. Spoon the artichokes and sauce onto a warmed platter. Top with the lamb chops and serve immediately.
