HERB-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS

DH and I made this recipe from the February 2009 edition of Bon Appetit a few nights ago and really enjoyed it. We usually prepare our lamb chops on the grill, but I thought that this recipe would lend itself well when grilling is just not practical. I am posting the recipe as printed in Bon Appetit, however, DH suggested that next time I chop the rosemary and thyme leaves, rather than lightly crush them with my mortar and pestel. Prep time includes marinating time.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, lightly crushed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaf, lightly crushed
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
6 lamb loin chops (1 1/4 inch thick)

Steps:

Mix first 4 ingredients and 1 Tb olive oil in a large bowl. Add lamb; turn to coat.
Let marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat remaining 1 Tb olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add lamb; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast lamb chops to desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
Transfer lamb to platter, cover, and let rest 5 minutes.

Tips:

Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with a pinkish-red color. Avoid chops that are too fatty or have a grayish tint.
Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
Season the lamb chops: Season the chops with a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or oregano.
Sear the lamb chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
Roast the lamb chops: Transfer the lamb chops to a baking dish. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the lamb chops rest: Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chops more tender.

Conclusion:

Herb Roasted Lamb Chops are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of herbs, garlic, and mustard gives the chops a wonderful flavor, and the roasting process helps to keep them moist and tender. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
