Lamb Chops With Mashed Sweet Potatoes And Onions Recipes

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:

• Season the lamb all over with salt and pepper, then rub with the ras el hanout. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
• Combine the butter, lemon zest, all but 2 tablespoons scallions, the finely chopped dill and the chopped cilantro in a small bowl; stir to combine. Add to the drained potatoes and mash with a potato masher or large fork. Slowly add the milk, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare to medium.
• Divide the lamb chops and potatoes among plates. Top with the remaining scallions, roughly chopped dill and cilantro leaves. Serve with harissa.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches, add lamb bones; sauté until well browned, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Transfer bones to platter. Add onion and sauté until brown, about 12 minutes. Return bones to Dutch oven. Add both broths, garlic and thyme and bring to boil. Reduce heat, partially cover Dutch oven and simmer 2 hours.
• Strain sauce into heavy small saucepan, pressing hard on solids to release liquid. Discard solids. Boil sauce until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Spoon fat off surface. Set sauce aside.
• Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 13 minutes. Drain. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and minced thyme and sauté until onion is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes and onion mixture to processor and puree until almost smooth. Stir in cloves. Season with salt and pepper. (Sauce and sweet potatoes can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add lamb; cook to desired doneness, adding more oil to skillet as necessary, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer. Rewarm sweet potatoes in medium skillet over low heat, stirring often.
• Place large spoonful of potatoes in center of each of 4 plates. Top each with 2 chops. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with thyme sprigs.

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:

• Mix mint, oregano, and garlic in small bowl. Sprinkle lamb generously with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons herb mixture over lamb chops; press to adhere (reserve remaining herb mixture for compote).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer lamb to platter (do not clean skillet). Tent lamb with foil. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add onion and sauté until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and reserved herb mixture; sauté 1 minute. Season compote to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon compote over lamb and serve.
