GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED GARLIC HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• To make pepper mixture combine black and white peppers, cayenne, and marjoram. Cover tightly and store in a cool place. Use to season red meats and game before cooking.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add garlic cloves and saute for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place in preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven. Remove garlic from pan and cool. Set aside until ready to use.
• Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add shallots, lamb bones, and pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add thyme, chicken stock, and demi-glace and bring to a boil. Skim off scum. Lower heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until sauce is reduced by one-third. Remove lamb bones and strain into a small saucepan. Add roasted garlic and grated horseradish. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Let sauce sit for 5 minutes to capture as much flavor from the garlic and horseradish as possible. Season with salt and lemon juice. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill. Make sure grates are clean and lightly rub or brush with oil. Brush chops with 3 tablespoons peanut oil and season to taste with salt and pepper mixture. Grill chops about 2 minutes or just long enough to mark one side. Turn chops and cook for about 2 minutes longer for medium-rare. Increase cooking time slightly for medium doneness. Remove chops from grill.
• Spoon Roasted Garlic Horseradish Sauce over the bottom of 4 warm dinner plates. Place 4 grilled lamb chops along the top of each plate, bones to the center. Garnish plates with sprigs of marjoram. Serve immediately.

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.

PUREED PARSNIPS WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Bring the parsnips to a boil over high heat in a large pot; then reduce the heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until soft.
• Drain the water.
• Add broth, cream, butter, and horseradish. Using a hand-blender, puree the mixture in the pot.
• Transfer the pureed mash into an ovenproof serving dish or pan, such as a 7" x 7" square glass pan.
• In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper together.
• Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the puree.
• Bake in 350- to 375-degree F oven until breadcrumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.

BRAISED LAMB WITH HORSERADISH AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Make the lamb:
• 1. Combine the salt and pepper in a small bowl. In a large, deep skillet with a tight-fitting cover, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add as many of the lamb cubes as will fit without crowding and cook, undisturbed, until they are well browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. (You will inevitably have to brown in batches.) Turn the cubes over, season with some of the salt and pepper mix, and brown on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and repeat with the remaining meat (the browning will take about 15 minutes total if your skillet is 12 inches or larger). Adjust the heat so the pieces brown as rapidly as possible without burning. Turn off the heat and let the pan cool for 1 minute.
• 2. Turn the heat back to medium, add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Pour the stock, wine, or water into the pan, raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any cooked-on bits. Simmer for 1 minute.
• 3. Add the browned lamb, along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Bring the pot to a boil, cover, then reduce the heat until the mixture simmers very gently.
• 4. Peel the horseradish and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick slices (keep the root from your eyes and nose; it's pungent). Stir the horseradish into the pot. Simmer, covered, until the lamb is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (shoulder meat will cook faster than leg meat). Taste the lamb before serving and add more salt and pepper if desired.
• Make the parsley purée:
• 5. In a blender combine the parsley with half the olive oil and the garlic cloves. Purée to a rough paste, then pour in the remaining oil while the blender is running and process to a smooth paste. Mix in the vinegar and salt, taste, and adjust the seasonings if desired.
• 6. Serve the stew, passing the parsley purée on the side.

PARSNIP PURéE

Steps:

• In heavy large pot combine parsnips with enough cold water to cover. Place over moderately high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. Working in 2 batches, pureé hot parsnips, butter, and chicken stock until smooth. Transfer to large serving dish, stir in salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

LAMB CHOPS WITH HORSERADISH DILL CREAM

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl or resealable bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper (about 4 turns of the peppermill). Add the chops and marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature. If marinating longer, refrigerate and bring back to room temperature before cooking.
• While the lamb is marinating, make the cream. In a small bowl combine the creme fraiche, green onion, dill, horseradish, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and a few more turns of the peppermill. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Remove chops from marinade and place in skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer pan to the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chops this should yield a medium rare to medium doneness.
• Using an oven mitt, remove pan from oven, remove chops from pan to serving dish and tent with foil for a 3-5 minutes. The chops will continue to cook a bit while sitting.
• Serve with horseradish dill cream on the side.
