LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI



Lamb With Mint Chimichurri image

Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising that's requisite this times of year. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts.

LAMB CHOPS WITH CILANTRO-MINT CHIMICHURRI



Lamb Chops With Cilantro-Mint Chimichurri image

This is an adaptation of a chimichurri sauce served over grilled meat. In this case, it's a cilantro mint chimichurri topping some broiled lamb chops. I would imagine the chimichurri would be great over steak, chicken or pork, too. The chimichurri is best eaten the day it is made, due to the fresh herbs used. Recipe courtesty of Ingrid Hoffmann.

Number Of Ingredients 19

CHIMICHURRI:
2 cups fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, cored and seeded
Salt, pepper, and sugar to taste
ORZO:
2/3 cups dry orzo pasta
1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
1/2 cup mint chimichurri (above)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
LAMB:
4 to 6 (4 to 6-ounce) lamb loin chops, trimmed, 1 per person
olive oil to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • CHIMICHURRI: Pulse all ingredients in a food processor, season with salt pepper and sugar to taste. ORZO: Cook orzo in a pot of boiling water according to directions. Add peas the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in chimichurri and feta. LAMB: Rub both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Allow chops to sit for 30 minutes. Grill each side for 4 to 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145° F. Serve the Lamb Chops over a bed or orzo and peas with the mint chimichurri sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color.
  • Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps to tenderize and add flavor to the meat.
  • Cook the chops over high heat: Broiling or grilling the chops over high heat helps to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the chops: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so they stay tender and juicy.
  • Serve the chops with a flavorful sauce or condiment: A mint-chimichurri sauce or a simple lemon-herb butter are great accompaniments to lamb chops.

Conclusion:

Broiled lamb chops with mint-chimichurri is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
