Grilled Spiced Lamb Chops With Saffron Vegetables And Red Bell Pepper Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SPICED LAMB CHOPS WITH SAFFRON VEGETABLES AND RED BELL PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For lamb:
• Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Place chops on large rimmed baking sheet. Pour marinade over, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• For vegetables:
• Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, leeks, saffron, and turmeric; sauté 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, turnips, carrots, and rutabagas. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush grill with oil. Remove lamb from marinade, scraping off some of excess marinade. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Divide grilled lamb chops among 6 plates. Serve with saffron vegetables and Red Bell Pepper Sauce.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS AND RED PEPPERS WITH ANCHOVY-PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Place lamb chops on a plate, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle lightly with oil, and turn to coat.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover potatoes by about 2 inches. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Halve potatoes, and toss with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss bell peppers with 1 teaspoon oil. Place bell peppers and potatoes on grill. Cook peppers, turning often, until tender and blackened in places, 10 to 12 minutes. Cook potatoes, cut side down, turning after bottoms are golden brown and no longer stick to grill, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer vegetables to a platter, and cover with parchment paper and then foil to keep warm.
• Place lamb chops on grill. Cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with vegetables, and let rest.
• Combine garlic, chopped anchovies, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, and place on grill (or over medium heat on cooktop). Cook, stirring, until garlic softens and anchovies sizzle and break down, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
• Arrange lamb, whole anchovy fillets, and vegetables on plates. Drizzle with anchovy-parsley sauce, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
