Lamb Chops With Spring Onion Mustard Mash Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small mason jar. Cover it with a lid and shake until all the ingredients are combine.
• Place lamb chops on a large plate/casserole and pour the marinade over the lamb chops. The marinade sauce should cover all sides of the lamb chops.
• Let the lamb chops marinade for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat and add lamb chops.
• Cook on medium-high heat about 4 minutes on each side and until it gets the internal temperature of 160F.
• Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Add wine to the same skillet and bring to boil.
• Add mustard, fresh thyme, and minced garlic and bring to boil until the sauce gets thick. It's about 2-3 minutes.
• Add back to the skillet the pan-seared lamb chops.
• Simmer on low-medium heat for a minute or two.
• Season the sauce with salt, cracked black pepper and fresh thyme.

SAUTéED LAMB CHOPS WITH RAMPS, ANCHOVY, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper, sprinkle with rosemary, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Put a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. When oil is hot, add chops in one layer, without crowding. (If necessary, use two pans or work in batches.)
• Cook chops until nicely browned on first side, about 4 to 5 minutes. (Maintain brisk heat, but adjust if they seem to be browning too quickly.) Flip chops and cook to medium-rare, until red juices rise on surface, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove chops to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Return pan to stovetop over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if pan looks dry, then add shallot and cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add anchovies, mashing them with the back of a spoon, to combine.
• Add chopped ramps (or garlic, if using), capers, olives and red pepper and stir to incorporate shallot mixture. Raise heat to high and add white wine. Cook rapidly until reduced by half. Add chicken broth and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and zest and turn off heat.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop reserved green ramp tops, if using, and mix with chopped parsley. Stir parsley mixture into sauce. Spoon sauce generously over lamb chops and serve.
