SUNNY'S GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH A "NO COOK" ORANGE CHUTNEY
Steps:
- For the chops: In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, salt, pepper, hot sauce and orange zest. Rub the mixture on all sides of the lamb chops. Place on a plate or baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with some of the olive oil. Flip the chops and drizzle some on the other side. Rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Heat a grill to medium high. Place the chops over direct heat and grill just 1 to 2 minutes on one side. Flip, grilling just 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a clean baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.
- For the chutney: Place the orange sections in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes and flesh into a separate medium bowl. Add the marmalade, parsley, Worcestershire, hot sauce and scallion to the juice. Taste and season the sauce with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Pour over the orange sections in the large bowl and gently toss to coat. Serve over the rested lamb chops.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PINK PEPPERCORN SAUCE
The secret to these extra-flavorful lamb chops is the marinade. (It's also amazing on pork chops.) Have your butcher double-cut the lamb chops-a thicker chop stays super juicy and is easier to keep from overcooking.

Steps:
- Make the marinade for the lamb chops: Combine the oil, mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, rosemary and garlic in a medium bowl. Place the lamb chops in a baking dish or large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, turning to coat. Cover or seal. Marinate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
- Place a grill pan over medium heat until hot. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 135 degrees F for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let rest 15 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, make the pink peppercorn sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the brandy. (If using a gas cooktop, to avoid flare-ups from the alcohol, remove the pan from the heat before adding the brandy.) Cook until the alcohol cooks off, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and peppercorns. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
- To serve, arrange the lamb chops on a platter. Garnish with parsley and rosemary and serve with the pink peppercorn sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,

BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Pat the lamb chops dry, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste, and broil them on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 6 minutes. Turn the chops, broil them for 4 minutes more for medium-rare meat, and let them stand for 5 minutes. While the chops are standing, in a small saucepan melt the butter and stir in the zest, the capers, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the chops to 2 plates and pour the sauce over them.
Tips:
- To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. Lamb chops are cooked to medium-rare at an internal temperature of 135°F, medium at 145°F, and well-done at 155°F.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the lamb chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be pink in the center for medium-rare, slightly pink for medium, and brown throughout for well-done.
- To prevent the lamb chops from drying out, baste them with the marinade or melted butter every few minutes while cooking.
- Lamb chops can be cooked on the grill, in a pan, or in the oven. If you're cooking them on the grill, make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grease the grates. If you're cooking them in a pan, use a heavy-bottomed pan and heat it over medium-high heat. If you're cooking them in the oven, preheat the oven to 400°F and place the lamb chops on a baking sheet.
- Lamb chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled asparagus.
Conclusion:
Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. They are a great source of protein and iron, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're grilling them, pan-frying them, or baking them, lamb chops are sure to please everyone at your table.
