Lamb Chops On A Bed Of Peppers And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Cover the chops with waxed paper or plastic and whack each chop with the heel of your palm to flatten it out. Season chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Combine cumin, coriander and paprika and sprinkle the mixture evenly over chops. Pat the spices in place and wash up. Let chops stand 15 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add peppers and onions. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and cook together 5 minutes, then add grape tomatoes and continue to cook until skins begin to burst on tomatoes. Add half the flat-leaf parsley to the skillet and toss. Transfer vegetables to a platter and cover with loose foil to hold heat.
• Place a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a small pot for couscous, just eyeball the amount. Heat oil over medium heat and add garlic. Saute garlic 1 minute then add the pine nuts to toast a little. Add chicken stock to the pot and bring it up to a boil. Add couscous, remove from heat, and cover the pot. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Return skillet to stove and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan. Add lamb chops to skillet and sear 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, cook 4 minutes on each side for medium well chops. Place chops on top of the peppers and onions.
• Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in mint and the remaining parsley. Pass couscous at the table. It makes a nice bed for the veggies and lamb to catch all the juices.

Steps:

• Combine herbs and salt; rub over lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with mint jelly if desired.

Steps:

• Cover the lamb chops with wax paper or plastic wrap; whack each chop with the heel of your hand to flatten it out.
• Season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Combine the cumin, coriander, and paprika; sprinkle mixture evenly over the chops; pat spices in place; let chops stand for 15 minutes.

• Season the vegetables with salt and pepper; cook for 5 minutes; then add in the tomatoes; continue to cook until their skin begins to burst.
• Add in half of the parsley and toss.
• Transfer the vegetables to a platter and cover loosely with foil; keep warm; don't wash the skillet.
• In a small saucepan, add 1 tablespoon oil; heat the oil over medium heat; add in the garlic; stir/saute for 1 minute.
• Add in the chicken stock; bring to a boil; add in the couscous, remove from heat, and cover the saucepan; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Return the skillet you cooked the veggies in to the stove; add 1 tablespoon oil.

Steps:

• Combine the parsley, lemon peel and garlic and set aside for later as a garnish for the lamb chops.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add onions and cook gently until golden and brown (be sure not to burn them). Add peppers and continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until tender, but still with some crispness left. Season with salt and pepper.
• When onions and pepper are tender, cook the lamb chops. Dry them, season at last minute with salt and pepper and either grill or broil them for 3 to 4 minutes a side or not beyond medium rare.
• Spoon peppers and onions on plate; top with lamb chops and sprinkle lemon parsley mixture over lamb. You'll have "planned leftover" peppers and onions for the following night.

Steps:

• Heat broiler, if using.
• Cut the whole onion into julienne strips, and saute in hot oil in nonstick pan.
• Mince garlic, and add to onion.
• Wash, trim, seed and julienne the bell peppers, and add to onions.
• Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno, and add to vegetables.
• Wash, dry and trim the lamb, and cut into inch-wide slices about one-quarter inch thick. Prepare stove-top grill if using. Grill or broil lamb until pink, about 5 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the beans. Stir into vegetables with salt and pepper, and cook a couple of minutes.
• Wash, dry and chop cilantro. Arrange vegetables on plate and top with strips of lamb. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with bread.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the lamb with the salt and pepper.
• Mix the oil, garlic and rosemary. Spoon half on the lamb and grill 1 minute per side. Place on a sheet pan and cover with the rest of the marinade. Roast in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reaches 125 degrees for rare, 130 degrees for medium rare.
• Cool for 5 minutes, then slice off individual chops and serve with sea salt for dipping. (S.R.O. uses tiny lamb chops, which fit into scallion ''sleeves.'' The racks generally sold by your butcher will be too big for this touch.)

Steps:

• Season both sides of lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb to skillet. Sprinkle onions over lamb. Cook until lamb is brown, stirring onions occasionally, about 7 minutes. Turn lamb chops and cook on second sides until lamb is cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to platter; cover with foil and keep warm.
• Add garlic to onions in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Stir in currants and sauté 1 minute longer. Add remaining ingredients and boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon onion mixture over lamb chops.
