Best 6 Coriander And Chile Rubbed Lamb Chops Recipes

CORIANDER-AND-CHILE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Divide lemon juice and garlic between 2 sealable plastic bags and put 6 tied chops in each bag, shaking to distribute marinade. Marinate 20 minutes. Grind coriander and red pepper flakes with a mortar and pestle or in an electric coffee/spice grinder, then pour onto a plate. Pat chops dry and season well with salt. Dip both sides of each chop into spice mixture to coat.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops, 4 at a time, until browned on all sides (add more oil to skillet for each batch). Transfer chops to a large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan as browned.
• When all chops are browned, roast in middle of oven 10 minutes for medium-rare. Remove string before serving.

SPICE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Stir together thyme, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Put lamb chops on a plate; rub each side with spice mixture. Let stand at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add chops. Reduce heat to medium. Cook chops, flipping halfway though, until deeply browned, about 10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer each chop to a serving plate. Divide arugula between plates; drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil. Serve with cauliflower.

CORIANDER LAMB CHOPS

GRILLED CHILI-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chops, rub it evenly all over the meat, and chill the chops, covered, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Prepare a grill with glowing coals or preheat the broiler.

CORIANDER-CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

• Combine all the other ingredients in a small bowl, then rub the mixture over the chops. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator about 30 minutes.
• Heat a lightly oiled grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, then add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes, flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for the medium rare or 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
• Allow the chops to rest 5 minutes before serving.

LAMB CHOPS WITH CORIANDER PESTO

Steps:

• Rub a little oil onto each side of the lamb, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill, barbecue or fry over medium-high heat for 5 mins, then turn over and cook 5 mins more for medium; 7 mins more for well done.
• While the meat is cooking, whizz together the rest of the ingredients with the remaining oil in a blender or with a mortar and pestle, to a rough paste. Serve the chops with the pesto drizzled over.
