Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large shallots, minced
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
6 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
24 lamb rib chops (from three 1 1/4-to 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb, cut between bones into individual chops)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
Fresh oregano sprigs (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon shallot-herb mixture onto eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops over onto large rimmed baking sheet. Press remaining shallot- herb mixture onto eye of each chop. Cover lamb chops with sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops. Turn chops over and spoon remaining oil mixture over. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb chops to platter. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red in color and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid chops that are pale or have a lot of white fat.
  • Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can marinate the chops for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside. Cook the chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

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