Lamb Loin Chops With Lemon And Garlic Recipes

EASY LEMON-GARLIC LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat a cast-iron/stainless steel pan over high heat.
• Drizzle the lamb chops with the olive oil and lemon juice then generously season with the herbs, spices and garlic on both sides.
• Place the lamb chops in the hot pan then sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Flip the lamb chops onto the fat side and allow to sear until the fat has started to render and has caramelized.
• Remove from the pan and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving with lemon wedges.

LAMB LOIN CHOPS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove chops from refrigerator and pat them dry. Sprinkle both sides with the black pepper, oregano and garlic. Add half of the olive oil and rub both sides well. Let the chops sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes. When ready to cook, sprinkle both sides with the sea salt.
• Heat the rest of the olive oil in a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, place the chops meat-side down in the pan, making sure you do not crowd the pan.
• Let the lamb brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the heat of your pan and the size of the chops. Once browned on one side, turn the chops over and brown the other side. Quickly sear the fatty and bone edges of the chops as well. (If you have a grill, use it for even better flavor!)
• Add the slices of lemon to the pan and shake the pan to distribute evenly (the lemon provides the acidity to help deglaze the pan).
• Once all of the sides have browned, lower the heat and continue to cook until the lamb chops are done to your liking. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check. Remove the meat from the pan at 125°F for rare, and 130° to 135°F for medium rare. Some of the chops may cook faster than others, so check them as they cook, and pull them off the pan when ready.
• Place the chops on a plate and cover with foil (this is very important). Let them rest for 10 minutes. Serve with the lemon slices, fresh rosemary and the accumulated pan juices.

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.

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.

LAMB CHOPS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon shallot-herb mixture onto eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops over onto large rimmed baking sheet. Press remaining shallot- herb mixture onto eye of each chop. Cover lamb chops with sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops. Turn chops over and spoon remaining oil mixture over. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb chops to platter. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve.
