Categories     main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper, or 1 teaspoon other crushed hot pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
8 lamb rib chops, 1-inch thick, Frenched (about 1 3/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
8 soft dates, pitted and sliced
2/3 cup crumbled barrel-aged feta cheese
1 big bunch of mint, leaves only, more for garnish
1 bunch dill, fronds only, coarsely chopped, more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon sumac

Steps:

  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine 1/3 cup oil, the cumin, 2 garlic cloves, the Aleppo pepper and half the lemon juice. Add lamb, turn to coat, cover baking dish and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • In a blender, combine remaining garlic clove, 3 tablespoons oil, the tahini, the yogurt, salt and pepper to taste, and 3 tablespoons water. Blend until it has the consistency of thick heavy cream, adding more water or adjusting seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
  • Heat a grill, grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove lamb from marinade, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side for rare. If you'd like, prop each lamb chop on its fatty side to briefly sear it, around 30 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the remaining scant 3 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with dates, feta, mint and dill. Place on serving platter, top with lamb, and drizzle with tahini dressing. Garnish with extra herbs and sumac, and serve with remaining tahini sauce on the side. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a deep red color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops before cooking: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Garnish the lamb chops with feta cheese and Banyuls cherry sauce before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops with feta and Banyuls cherry sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
