Breaded Lamb Rib Chops Recipes

PARMESAN AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper on a plate.
• Place eggs in a bowl and beat to blend.
• Combine cheese, panko, rosemary, parsley, thyme, garlic and salt and black pepper to taste in a bowl.
• Dust lamb chops with seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, then thoroughly coat with cheese, breadcrumb and herb mixture.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Place 3 to 4 chops in the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet and hold warm in the oven if necessary. Repeat with remaining chops.

LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Check for doneness: At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough. If you would like your chops more cooked, you can put them in a 400°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or keep them in the hot pan, lower the heat to warm, and cover the pan for a few minutes. Note that rib chops are so small, and cook so quickly, checking for internal temperature with a thermometer can be impractical. For this reason I use the finger test to check the doneness of the chops. That said, if you have an instant read thermometer and want to check thick chops, aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, and 140°F for medium.
• Rest the chops: When done, remove the chops from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and the Worcestershire sauce; stir well. Dip each lamb chop in the sauce and then lightly dredge in the bread crumbs. Then arrange them in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, turn chops over, and cook for 20 more minutes, or to desired doneness.

PARMESAN LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut between bones to divide the rack of lamb into 8 chops. Trim chops of any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, fennel seed and rosemary.
• Dip each chop into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs. Lay the chops on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each liberally with the crumb mixture. Press any remaining mixture evenly over the chops to coat well.
• In a wide skillet, pour the olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over a medium-high burner until the oil looks wavy. Add the chops without crowding. They should begin to sizzle, but not brown too quickly. Adjust the heat so they fry gently for about 21/2 minutes, until crisp and golden. Turn with tongs and fry on the other side for about 2 minutes. (The interiors should be pink and juicy, but not rare.) Blot on paper towels. Serve with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.

LAMB RIB CHOPS WITH CREAMY WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. When skillet and oil are hot, place chops down in a single layer. Cook for 3 minutes per side or according to desired doneness.
• Transfer chops to a plate and loosely tent with foil to retain heat. Spoon out any fat in excess of 1 tablespoon. Add shallots and saute until softened. Stir in mustard and deglaze with cognac, scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When cognac has reduced to about 1 tablespoon, stir in cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in tarragon leaves immediately before serving. Place two or three chops on each plate and spoon the sauce over them.

GRILLED LAMB RIB CHOPS

Steps:

• Prepare lamb chops by removing excess fat from rib bone. Prepare glaze by mixing allspice, cinnamon, star anise, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and the habenero in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 of this mixture for finishing glaze on cooked meat. Marinate chops overnight, refrigerated. Season marinated chops with salt and pepper and cook on hot grill about 3 minutes on each side or until medium rare. Brush with reserved glaze. Serve with Sweet and Sour Onion Compote.
• Place ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and allow to cook for about 1 hour or until liquid evaporates.
