Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Large pinch saffron
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Large pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, more for serving
1 teaspoon tomato paste
6 lamb loin chops, 2 inches thick (4 to 6 ounces each)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh celery leaves or chives
1/2 teaspoon sherry or red wine vinegar
Thick slices of crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • For rouille: Using a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound or pulse saffron until bruised and fragrant. Mix in a half teaspoon of boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt and cayenne and pound or pulse until a paste forms.
  • Mix in the egg yolk until thoroughly combined. While pounding and stirring constantly (or with food processor on), slowly drizzle in the olive oil. When oil is fully emulsified, stir in tomato paste. Add more salt and cayenne if necessary.
  • Light grill. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper, and coat with rouille. Allow lamb to rest at room temperature while grill heats up.
  • Halve cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Toss with celery leaves or chives and vinegar.
  • Grill lamb chops to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes a side for medium rare. Brush bread slices with oil and grill until toasted, about 30 seconds a side. Serve lamb with more rouille drizzled on top, and grilled bread and tomatoes on the side.

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
8 frenched lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

Steps:

  • Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 loin lamb chops, each about 1 -inch thick
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, very finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops. Place them in a single layer in a dish.
  • Mix the vinegar, oil, anchovy paste, rosemary and garlic together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the lamb chops, turning them over in the dish, then turning them back again so both sides become lightly coated with marinade. Cover and allow to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot.
  • Grill or broil the lamb chops as close as possible to the source of heat so they become seared and brown on the outside but still pink in the middle - six to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill. Serve at once, garnished with sprigs of rosemary.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the lamb chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to the desired doneness: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking will make them tough.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops are 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 full of flavor. Serve them with a side of rouille and cherry tomatoes for a complete meal that is sure to impress your guests.
