ZESTY HERBED LAMB CHOPS
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

OVEN-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS
Never having lamb before I didn't "think" I liked lamb. When your MIL is 100% Greek you know you will have to fix it for her son! I asked her to show me one night and wrote it down. These oven lamb chops are so easy and tender, perfect for when you don't have a crowd to feed!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.

PEPPER-CRUSTED LAMB WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES
Here's a bistro-style entrée that's easy to make using supermarket ingredients and the oven does most of the heavy lifting. While the broccolini and potatoes roast up to crispy perfection virtually unsupervised, you'll get to work coating lamb loin chops in crushed black peppercorns and giving them a good sear in a skillet. A quick pan sauce made with shallots and red wine ties everything together for a delicious and surprisingly simple meal.

Roast until vegetables are tender, 20 minutes more.

PEPPERED LAMB CHOPS
This is a very easy yet yummy lamb chop recipe, I used french trimmed lamb chops but any cut of chop would work just as well with this recipe. I served mine over creamy polenta topped with mushrooms and sprinkled with a few fresh chopped chives. I just saw kiwidutch's review PLEASE NOTE: I used a mild creamy french mustard not dijon that would be way too overpowering if you added 2 Tablespoons. Thanks Kiwidutch for pointing that out I should have made it more clear sorry if you almost blew your head off.

Steps:
- Season chops with black pepper both sides about 3/4 Tablespoon (If you don't use quite 3/4 tablespoon, reserve whatever is left over for the sauce.) reserve remaining tablespoon for the sauce.
- Cook chops either under the grill, BBQ or pan fry until desired doneness.
- For The Sauce.
- In a pan add milk, mustard, brandy, Worcestershire sauce and remaining pepper, bring to boil and then reduce to a simmer for a couple of minutes, add cream, heat through and serve over chops.
- Note: I find the sauce thickens up enough this way, I have had a couple of times where I found it a little to0 runny, if this is the case just use a little cornflour to thicken.
- Serve sauce over chops and sprinkle with chopped chives.

LAMB SCALLOPINI WITH PEPPER AND ONION AGRODOLCE
Every year around Easter we normally do some kind of roast lamb recipe, like a big ol' leg of lamb, which is perfect for a large family gathering, but I have a feeling this year's gonna be a little bit different--so we're gonna go with nice, thin medallions. Unlike those large, more expensive cuts of meat, this is super easy to achieve perfect doneness, which means less anxiety and stress. Serve with crispy pan-fried potatoes.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil for agrodolce in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the hot oil until they start to soften up and take on some color, 4 to 5 minutes. Drizzle in more olive oil if the onions look dry. Add chile peppers and garlic; cook until peppers just start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dried mint and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring, for exactly 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the lamb into four equal 4-ounce pieces and pound between plastic wrap to about 1/8-inch thick medallions. Trim any easy-to-cut silver skin off if you like. Transfer to a Silpat®-lined baking sheet and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Dust both sides of the meat generously with flour using a sifter and let sit for at least 10 minutes before frying.
- While lamb rests, stir salt and pepper to taste, cayenne, remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, and parsley into the agrodolce mixture. Taste and adjust, adding more salt, oil, and/or vinegar as you see fit. Reserve until needed; keep in fridge if making ahead, but let come to room temperature before serving.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not quite smoking. Pan-fry the lamb medallions until browned, about 2 minutes per side. They are very thin, so be careful not to overcook. Serve immediately topped with the agrodolce.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS AND PEPPERS
Lamb chops need enough time on the grill to let the fat render. You'll get flare-ups as the fat melts onto the coals-that's inevitable-but instead of letting the chops char, just move them to a new spot as needed and keep going.

Steps:
- Pound garlic, rosemary, and 2 Tbsp. oil with a mortar and pestle until pulverized. (Alternatively, finely grate garlic and finely chop rosemary. Combine in a small bowl and mix in the oil.) Season lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Coat all over with garlic paste and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
- Just before you are ready to grill the chops, make the herb salsa. Pound parsley and dill with mortar and pestle with a big pinch of salt until coarsely crushed. (Alternatively, finely chop the herbs and combine in a medium bowl.) Finely grate zest from lemon into herbs, then slice lemon in half and squeeze in its juice. Stir in 1/2 cup oil; taste and season herb salsa with more salt if needed.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill lamb chops, turning often to encourage fat to render and moving to a new spot on the grill whenever there's a flare-up, until nicely charred on the outside but still pink in the center, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes.
- While the chops are resting, toss peppers in a medium bowl with enough oil to coat; season with salt. Grill peppers, turning often, until skins are blistered and charred in spots and flesh is tender, about 3 minutes. Return to bowl, add a few dashes of vinegar, and toss to coat.
- Serve lamb and peppers with herb salsa for spooning over.
Tips:
- To ensure tender and juicy lamb chops, choose chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Marinating the lamb chops in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help enhance their flavor.
- Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help create a delicious crust on the chops.
- Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Allow the lamb chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.
Conclusion:
Sheila's peppered lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful dinner option, give Sheila's peppered lamb chops a try.
