ZESTY HERBED LAMB CHOPS



Zesty Herbed Lamb Chops image

I often serve this sauce with seared scallops or grilled salmon or halibut. It's really good either way. I also modify the recipe when there are fresh herbs in season. I've made a version with basil instead of mint, and I sometimes swap thyme for oregano for a more subtle flavor. -Cora Anderson, Seattle, Washington

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH FRESH HERBS



Grilled Lamb Chops with Fresh Herbs image

Enjoy fresh herbs with these grilled lamb chops. I used what was in my garden: mint, rosemary, parsley, and chives. You may use whatever combination you like! Lamb is very delicate and will stay tender and tasty at medium-rare. Lamb chops grill very quickly, so watch them closely.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 (5 ounce) lamb loin chops, about 1 1/4-inches thick
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
½ tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
½ tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat down to 1/8-inch around each lamb chop and sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate once the grill is hot.
  • Place lamb chops on the hot grate and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops, to achieve crisscross grill marks, and continue grilling, 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip the chops and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops and continue grilling an additional 2 minutes, or until they have reached desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
  • Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Allow to rest under foil, about 10 minutes.

  • If you don't have Pinot Noir wine on hand, you can substitute another dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.

  • When you're ready to serve the lamb chops, simply reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
  • To add a pop of color and flavor to the dish, garnish the lamb chops with fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
