Grilled Lamb Marinade Rosemary Garlic Recipes

ROSEMARY GARLIC GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix Marinade ingredients in a bowl until salt dissolves. Add lamb, mix to coat, then marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, up to 24 hours.
• Brush BBQ bars with oil if required (Note 1) and heat to medium high (or heat 1/2 tbsp oil in skillet on stove on medium high).
• Cook lamb to your taste. I had 4 x 150g/5oz lamb loin chops about 2cm/3/4" thick and 3 minutes on each side = medium. I also cooked smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs for garnish.
• Transfer lamb to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve with sides of choice!

Steps:

• Combine garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in small bowl. Mash with fork to form coarse paste. Place lamb in shallow baking dish. Spread half of garlic paste over each side. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb until brown and crusty on outside and thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130ºF for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut on diagonal into thin slices and serve.
• Variation:.
• Add 2/3 cup red wine, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and 3/4 cup olive oil to the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.

GRILLED SHOULDER LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC-ROSEMARY MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl. Rub both sides of each chop with the paste; let stand at least 30 minutes. (Can be refrigerated overnight.).
• FOR CHARCOAL GRILL:.
• Heat enough coals to cover surface area large enough for four chops. Once coals are covered with gray ash, spread them, set grill rack in place, and cover grill with lid in order to heat rack, about 5 minutes. Or heat oven broiler.
• Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper to taste.
• Position chops over hot coals. Grill until bottom of each chop is well browned, about 2 minutes. (If chops start to flame, pull off heat for a moment or extinguish flames with squirt bottle.) Turn each chop and cook about 2 more minutes for medium-rare or 2 1/2 minutes for medium. If broiling, position chops 2 to 3 inches from heating element and cook about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes each side for medium.
• FOR GAS GRILL:.
• Turn all burners on grill to high, close lid, and heat until grill is very hot, about 15 minutes. Leave one burner on high and turn other burner(s) down to medium.
• Rub chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Grill chops, covered, over hotter part of grill, turning them once, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Move chops to cooler part of grill and continue grilling, turning once, to desired doneness, about 6 minutes for rare (about 120 degrees on instant-read thermometer), about 8 minutes for medium (about 130 degrees), or about 10 minutes for well-done (140 to 150 degrees).
• Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Open lamb like book on work surface. Using tip of small knife, make 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb. Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves. Insert garlic slices into slits in lamb. Combine remaining 4 garlic cloves, mustard, olive oil, white wine, rosemary, and lemon juice in processor. Blend until coarse puree forms. Spread underside of lamb with half of puree. Place lamb, seasoned side down, in 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread remaining puree over top of lamb. Cover lamb with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• Let lamb stand at room temperature 2 hours. Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill lamb to desired doneness, about 17 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to cutting board; let rest 10 to 20 minutes.
• Thinly slice lamb against grain. Overlap slices on platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.
• What to drink:
• Syrah would be delicious with the grilled lamb. Mix things up by skipping California and Australian Syrahs and going with an Italian Syrah instead. One to try: the velvety, full-bodied 2006 Villa Pillo Syrah Toscana ($16, Italy).
