SAUSAGE-WRAPPED LAMB CHOPS WITH TAPANADE BUTTER



Sausage-Wrapped Lamb Chops with Tapanade Butter image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 8-rib rack of lamb, frenched, trimmed of all fat, cut into 4 double chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup chopped shallots
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ounces ground lamb
4 ounces ground pork
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon brandy
1 teaspoon Madeira
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Tapenade Butter

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add chops; sear just until brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to plate and cool.
  • Melt butter in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add cumin; stir 30 seconds. Transfer to medium bowl and cool. Mix ground lamb, pork, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, brandy, and Madeira into shallot mixture. Divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Press each meat mixture portion around each lamb chop, covering meat completely and pressing to adhere, leaving bones exposed. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place lamb chops on sheet. Roast until thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes. Place 1 double chop on each of 4 plates. Top each with 2 slices Tapenade Butter.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Lamb Chops with Tapenade Butter:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively fatty or have a dull appearance.
  • Prepare the marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the lamb chops and infuse them with flavor. Use a combination of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful marinade. Allow the chops to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Preheat your grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to a medium-high temperature before cooking the lamb chops. This will help to sear the outside of the chops and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the lamb chops to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops and your desired doneness. For medium-rare chops, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. For medium chops, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. For well-done chops, cook for about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop, avoiding the bone. The internal temperature for medium-rare chops is 135°F (57°C), for medium chops it is 145°F (63°C), and for well-done chops it is 155°F (68°C).
  • Make the tapenade butter: While the lamb chops are cooking, make the tapenade butter. Combine tapenade, butter, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the lamb chops with tapenade butter: Once the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the lamb chops with a dollop of tapenade butter and enjoy!
