Coriander And Chile Rubbed Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together thyme, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Put lamb chops on a plate; rub each side with spice mixture. Let stand at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add chops. Reduce heat to medium. Cook chops, flipping halfway though, until deeply browned, about 10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer each chop to a serving plate. Divide arugula between plates; drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil. Serve with cauliflower.

Steps:

• Place the garlic, mint, turmeric, coriander, cumin, lemon zest, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely ground. Add the olive oil and pulse to combine.
• Place the chops in one or two non-metal dishes large enough to hold them in one layer. Spread the garlic and herb mixture evenly on both sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, Sriracha, and lemon juice, and spread it evenly on the lamb chops. Cover, refrigerate, and allow to marinate for 6 to 24 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals and oil the cooking grate. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and grill 5 to 6 inches above the coals, first with the yogurt side up (marinade and all) for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, until medium rare. Transfer to a clean plate, cover the plate tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the couscous.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remove from the heat. Cover the pot tightly and allow the couscous to steam for 10 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the mint and pine nuts. Taste for seasonings and add about 1 teaspoon salt, depending on the saltiness of the stock, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Trim fat from chops and place them on a flat plate.
• Combine all the other ingredients in a small bowl, then rub the mixture over the chops. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator about 30 minutes.
• Heat a lightly oiled grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, then add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes, flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for the medium rare or 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
• Allow the chops to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the chili powder, the cumin, the thyme, the sugar, the salt, the allspice, and the black pepper.
• Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chops, rub it evenly all over the meat, and chill the chops, covered, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Prepare a grill with glowing coals or preheat the broiler.
• On the oiled rack of the grill or on a broiler pan in the broiler, grill or broil the chops 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.
• Serve the chops with the pepper jelly.

Steps:

• Bring lamb to room temperature before cooking. Heat oven to 275 degrees. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast coriander seeds until aromatic. Crack 2 tablespoons seeds in a mortar. In mortar or spice grinder, grind remaining seeds until fine; set aside.
• Use a sharp knife to score fat on roast, making shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern. Rub all over, including cuts, with cracked coriander seeds, salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and drizzle all over with olive oil.
• Roast about 6 hours, until tender and brown all the way through. Internal temperature will be about 165 degrees. (If pressed for time, cook at 325 degrees for about 3 hours, but result will not be quite as succulent.) Let rest on carving board, covered with foil, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make gravy. Tilt roasting pan and spoon off fat. Place pan on stove over low heat, sprinkle in flour and whisk up browned bits from pan. When flour is just golden, pour in stock and whisk well. Add ground coriander and simmer until thickened to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Carve lamb into thick slices so that each piece includes crust. Serve with roasted potatoes and coriander gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• With a mortar and pestle or in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind coriander seeds. Mince garlic and mash to paste with salt. In a bowl stir together coriander, garlic paste, and oil and rub onto chops.
• Arrange chops on rack of a broiler pan and broil 3 inches from heat 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
