Lamb Chops with Greens and Sorrel Salsa Verde image

Provided by Chef Seamus Mullen

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 1 1/2-2"-thick lamb loin chops (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup sorrel or spinach leaves
1/3 cup mint leaves
1/3 cup parsley leaves
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, divided
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces king oyster or maitake mushrooms, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 bunch mustard greens, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into pieces
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (add up to 3 tablespoons total if using spinach)

Steps:

  • Pat lamb dry; season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, puree sorrel, mint, parsley, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, about 1 garlic clove, and 1/3 cup oil in a blender, scraping down sides as needed, until mixture is smooth. Season salsa verde with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Prepare grill for high heat (or heat a grill pan over high). Grill chops, turning every 2 minutes or so, until well browned and beginning to char and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 125°, 8-10 minutes. Let lamb rest at least 10 minutes.
  • While lamb is resting, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add shallot and remaining garlic to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened and starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add greens; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Return mushrooms to skillet and toss to combine. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir lemon juice into salsa verde; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve lamb chops over mustard greens with salsa verde.
  • Do ahead: Salsa verde (without lemon juice) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Add lemon juice before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh dill, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves cut into chiffonade
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch kosher salt
4 thick (3/4-inch) lamb shoulder chops

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, oregano, dill, mint, garlic, lemon zest and juice, red pepper flakes and salt in a small bowl to form a thick paste. Slather on the lamb chops. Marinate the chops at room temperature up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If the lamb was in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill to medium. When the grill is hot, brush the grates with a wire grill brush to loosen any crud. Wipe the grates with an oiled side towel to pick up any loose soot or crud.
  • Arrange the lamb chops on the grill. Do not move the chops for 2 to 3 minutes to allow lovely grill marks to form. Rotate the chops 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chops and repeat the process. Remove the chops from the grill to a platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

LAMB CHOPS WITH RED WINE AND ROSEMARY SAUCE



Lamb Chops With Red Wine and Rosemary Sauce image

This recipe for this dish is one that I received a while back, in one of my cooking classes on American Bistro. I have since changed and added some ingredients to suit my taste. It is a lovely dish, that is fairly quick, easy to make and very tasty. Most ingredients are ones you may have on hand. The sauce is a lovely compliment to the lamb. Served with a side of wild rice and a green salad or veggie, it is a perfect dinner.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 lamb chops, fat trimmed
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup chicken broth or 3/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon flour
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Add the oil to the skillet. Add chops to the pan cook 4 minutes.
  • Turn chops over and cook 3 minutes longer.
  • Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
  • Pour off all but 2 tsp of fat from skillet. Add the garlic and shallot. Cook until they become transparent and tender.
  • Add the wine, rosemary, and parsley, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Simmer over high heat until syrupy. That will take about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and continue to simmer until sauce is reduced by about half.
  • Combine butter and flour in a cup (beurre manie).
  • Stir mustard and cream into sauce. Adjust seasonings. Bring to a boil.
  • Add beurre manie to sauce and stir well until incorporated into sauce and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove sauce from heat.
  • Plate chops, 2 per plate, and add sauce over top. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
  • Serve Immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the chops generously: Sprinkle the chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help them develop a delicious crust.
  • Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to quickly sear the outside of the chops and lock in the juices. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.
  • Make sure the sorrel sauce is well-seasoned: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve the chops with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Lamb chops with sorrel sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chops are tender and flavorful, and the sorrel sauce is bright and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
