Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 russet potatoes, peeled, each cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges for serving
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
12 lamb rib chops (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 10-ounce bag frozen peas
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Toss the potatoes and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a microwave-safe dish. Spread in as even a layer as possible. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, cover with plastic wrap and microwave 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and liquid to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast in the oven, uncovered, until the potatoes are light golden and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season the lamb chops with salt, pepper and the oregano. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, add the lamb chops and cook, basting occasionally with a large spoon, about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate to rest; tent with foil.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in another large skillet over medium heat and add the peas. Cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir in the mint.
  • Divide the lamb chops, potatoes and peas among plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red in color and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that your chops are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor them. You can marinate the chops for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to sear the chops and create a nice crust. You can cook the chops on a grill, in a skillet, or under a broiler.
  • Don't overcook the lamb chops: Lamb chops are best cooked medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops with oregano and lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
