Lemon Lamb Chops With Lentils And Radishes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220 deg Celsius.
• Trim chops of excess fat, leaving a small amount for browning. Heat a non-stick pan to high and brown chops well on both sides. Remove to a lidded casserole big enough so the chops are crowded but in 1 layer.
• Sprinkle chops with rosemary and then top with the garlic.
• Drain fat from pan and wipe clean. Return pan to heat and dry fry onions, adding a small amount of water if needed. Once soft and translucent transfer from pan to casserole, layering over garlic. Place casserole in oven.
• Return pan to heat and add water, wine, oregano, thyme and chilli and bring to the boil. Add lentils and return to the boil. Cover and lower heat to simmer. Cook for five minutes.
• Add canned tomatoes to lentils and return to boil. Taste and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, as preferred. Remove casserole from oven. Transfer lentils and tomatos to casserole being careful of spatter. Push chops around so liquid goes to bottom but do not mix. Cover and return to oven for approximately 1 hour (depending on thickness of chops). Meat should almost fall off the bone.
• Remove from oven, stir and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before adjusting the seasoning and serving.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and bones and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the lentils, 2 cups of the chicken broth, tomatoes, carrots and the thyme, sage and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but not quite done, stirring occasionally. Depending on the type and freshness of the lentils, this will take from 15 to 30 minutes. If the stew seems dry, add more broth (up to one cup additional). Discard the lamb bones.
• Add the spinach and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Garnish individual servings with some of the crumbled cheese.

Steps:

• Combine lemon grass, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice, minced garlic, and pepper. Rub half the mixture over the lamb, and marinate overnight.
• Heat a grill or broiler with the rack 4 to 6 inches from the flame. Wipe off the marinade; grill or broil, turning once, until medium, 4 or 5 minutes per side.
• Serve with the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, chile paste, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Transfer into a resealable plastic bag. Add the lamb chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove lamb chops from from marinade and scrape off excess. Discard used marinade. Season chops with salt and black pepper. Place on the preheated grill and cook until browned and medium rare on the inside, 3 to 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine 1/3 cup oil, the cumin, 2 garlic cloves, the Aleppo pepper and half the lemon juice. Add lamb, turn to coat, cover baking dish and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• In a blender, combine remaining garlic clove, 3 tablespoons oil, the tahini, the yogurt, salt and pepper to taste, and 3 tablespoons water. Blend until it has the consistency of thick heavy cream, adding more water or adjusting seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
• Heat a grill, grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove lamb from marinade, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side for rare. If you'd like, prop each lamb chop on its fatty side to briefly sear it, around 30 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the remaining scant 3 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with dates, feta, mint and dill. Place on serving platter, top with lamb, and drizzle with tahini dressing. Garnish with extra herbs and sumac, and serve with remaining tahini sauce on the side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil the lentils in a medium pot in 2 inches of water for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Combine the thyme, lemon zest, and garlic on a cutting board. Chop together, then add the salt and pepper and mash with the flat of the knife. Drizzle EVOO over the chops. Rub them with the herb and garlic mixture and arrange on a slotted broiler pan. Broil the chops 6 to 8 inches from heat for 5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Allow the meat to rest 5 minutes.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Melt the butter and add the shallots. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add the radishes to the skillet and coat in the butter and shallots. Drain the lentils. Add them to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, dill, and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Pile the lentils and radishes on plates and serve up 2 chops per person.
