Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 lamb shoulder blade chops (each 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick)
1 10- to 12-ounce container grape tomatoes
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup paper-thin red onion slices

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons oregano, and ground cumin in medium bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup dressing to large bowl; add lamb chops and stir to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add grape tomatoes to remaining dressing in medium bowl; toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté lamb chops until browned on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness. Transfer lamb chops to 4 plates (reserve skillet).
  • Using slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to same skillet (reserve dressing from tomatoes in bowl). Sauté tomatoes until skins begin to wrinkle, about 2 minutes. Top lamb chops with tomatoes, then feta, red onion, and remaining 1 tablespoon oregano. Drizzle with reserved dressing.

LAMB CHOPS WITH DATES, FETA AND TAHINI



Lamb Chops With Dates, Feta and Tahini image

These tender little lamb rib chops have a deep, complex flavor thanks to a marinade imbued with cumin and Aleppo pepper. After a brief soak, they get quickly seared, then served with a garlicky tahini-yogurt sauce and a tangy herb salad filled with feta cheese and sweet dates. It's a festive, colorful, company-worthy main course that comes together fast.

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.

  • Let the chops rest before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chops with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad are all great options.
