Roasted Lamb Chops With Orange, Garlic and Rosemary Pesto Rub image

This is a knockout dish, and the best part about it is it only looks complicated! It is very simple to make. Ask the butcher for French Trimmed Lamb, where the meat is trimmed slightly from the bone - it is an extremely classic and elegant presentation.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons rosemary, finely chopped, plus
rosemary sprig, for garnish
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Rub the lamb with the garlic mixture, gently pressing it into the meat. Place the lamb, meat side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. (This is a good time to start the creme fraiche potatoes.) Roast lamb in the center of the oven ‑- 15 to 20 minutes for rare (the internal temperature on a meat thermometer will read 125 degrees F), 20 to 30 minutes for medium rare (135 degrees F), 25 to 35 minutes for medium (145 degrees F).
  • Cover the surface of the platter with rosemary. Slice the rack into chops at the table, and serve.

I didn't have any orange zest on hand, so I used lemon zest instead. The lamb chops still turned out great!

The lamb chops were a bit dry, but the pesto rub was delicious. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
