LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay chops in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the lamb registers 125 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After cooking the lamb on each side, stand it up on it's edges to brown the sides as well, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat if needed so the browned bits remaining in the pan don't burn. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
• Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, tilting the skillet to keep the garlic submerged in the fat, and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and rosemary, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer over high heat until syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by about half, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and briskly whisk in the butter. When the butter has incorporated, whisk in the mustard and heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve 2 chops per person with the sauce.

PAN SEARED LAMB LOLLIPOPS (CHOPS) WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC AND DIJON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, dijon mustard, minced rosemary, and olive oil; set aside.
• In a large bowl or baking sheet, season lamb chops liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
• Rub the lamb chops with the garlic/dijon mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
• When ready to cook, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and when you know the pan is nice and hot, add lamb chops and cook 2-3 minutes without touching. Turn chops over and cook on other side the same amount of time.
• Remove chops to plate and let rest about 5 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining chops until all are cooked.
• If pan starts to smoke, turn heat down. Serve as is or with mint jelly.

GARLIC AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, bread crumbs, and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to chop, then add enough olive oil until a paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper. Press paste firmly onto surface of lamb chops. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saute pan and brown each side of the chops, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the crust to integrate into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, for approximately 6 to 8 additional minutes.

WINE, BALSAMIC AND ROSEMARY LAMB CHOP LOLLIPOPS

Steps:

• Combine the wine, garlic and rosemary in a small saucepot and bring to a bare simmer. Remove from the heat, add the balsamic and olive oil, and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag and cover with the cooled marinade. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove the chops from the marinade and pour the marinade into a small saucepan along with the honey. Bring the mixture to a brisk simmer and reduce until slightly syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the lamb chops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high until very hot. Lightly brush with oil.
• Grill the chops, turning once, for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium.
• Serve the chops garnished with rosemary sprigs and drizzled lightly with the reduced marinade.

ROSEMARY AND GARLIC LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in processor; blend until garlic is finely chopped. Coat chops with garlic mixture. Arrange chops in single layer on baking sheet. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat broiler. Watching closely, broil lamb 4 to 5 inches from heat source until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer 3 chops to each plate and serve.

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.

GRILLED GARLIC AND ROSEMARY LAMB LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chops and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes per side.

GARLIC ROSEMARY-MARINATED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl stir together the zest, the garlic paste, the rosemary, the oil, and pepper to taste, rub the lamb chops with the marinade, and let them marinate on a plate for 20 minutes. Broil the lamb chops on the rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC-ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop garlic. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear lamb 3 minutes. Turn lamb over and sear 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to 4 plates. Add garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, and stock to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Whisk in butter. Pour sauce over lamb.

GARLIC & ROSEMARY LAMB LOLLIPOP CHOPS

Steps:

• French the lamb rib chops leaving about 2 inches of rib bone totally bare. Sprinkle them with kosher salt taste. Drizzle with olive oil and rub on all sides. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Smear garlic paste. If you like, marinate the ribs like this overnight in the fridge. Otherwise, they're ready to cook. Drizzle a little olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan. Heat over medium-high heat for a minute or two. Sear until they've developed a nice brown crust on the bottom. (The time will vary from maybe 3-6 minutes per side, depending on how rare you like your lamb.) If the pan starts to smoke, lower the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes to preserve juiciness.

ROSEMARY-AND-GARLIC LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add oil, then lamb in a single layer. Cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onions; cook, stirring a few times, until golden brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in broth. Return lamb and any juices to pan; bring to a simmer. Partially cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of lamb (without touching bone) registers 130 degrees, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve over potatoes.
