Lime N The Cumin Lamb Loins Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, canola oil, honey, cumin, and chili powder. In a rectangular pan, arrange the chops so they are in one layer, pour the marinade over the chops, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow the meat to marinate at least one hour and up to 6 hours, turning the meat over at least once.
• EGGPLANT: In a large bowl or rectangular glass dish, drizzle the eggplant slices with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin and herbes de Provence. Season with salt and pepper.
• When ready to grill, prepare a charcoal or wood fire and allow it to burn down to ashes, or preheat a broiler if cooking indoors. Place the eggplant rounds on the grill and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and reseason with salt and pepper. (This may also be done on the stovetop, with a Teflon-coated grill pan.)
• Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and place on the grill. Grill chops for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until medium rare. (This may also be done in the broiler.)
• To serve, place the eggplant slices on a large platter, overlapping in an oval. Place the lamb chops over the eggplant. To serve on individual plates, place 2 slices of eggplant on each plate and top with two lamb chops.
• Serve with your favorite grain salad, glazed carrots, haricots verts, or sliced tomatoes.

Steps:

• Whisk together garlic, cumin, cardamom, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons oil and transfer to a sealable plastic bag just large enough to hold lamb. Add lamb and seal bag, forcing out excess air, then massage lamb until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature, turning bag occasionally, 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook half of lamb about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare. Transfer cooked lamb to a platter. Wipe out skillet, then heat remaining tablespoon oil and cook remaining lamb in same manner. Transfer to platter and let stand 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat Broiler.
• Blend olive oil, lime juice and cumin.
• Brush lime and cumin mixture on both sides of each lamb chop.
• Place lamb chops on the top broiler rack.
• Broil for 5-6 minutes each side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, oil, ginger, mint, Essence or seasoning salt, cumin, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Place the loins in a roasting pan and pat with the breadcrumb mixture to make a crust. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Serve with Saskatoonberry Chutney.
• Saskatoonberry Chutney.
• In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, pepper, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
• Add the berries, sugar, and vinegar and simmer over low heat until thickened and reduced, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mint and cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• To prepare the brine, in a large bowl, mix all ingredients except for the tenderloin, oil, tortillas, and garnish. Transfer the brine to a pan large and deep enough to hold the liquid and the meat. Trim the thin outer silver skin from the loin and place it in the brine, cover, and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Using your hands, remove the lamb from the marinade, brush off any whole spices from the meat, and pat dry with paper towels.
• To cook the lamb, in a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the meat on all sides, turning every 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, cooking to medium-rare (135°F), about 5 minutes total. For lamb loin, sear over medium-high heat 2 minutes per each of the four sides, cooking to medium-rare (135°F), 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove the lamb from the pan and let rest on a cutting board for 3 minutes. Slice the meat into thin medallions and serve immediately.
• To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with pineapple and salsa. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with pineapple and salsa, fold, and eat right away.

Steps:

• Add the yogurt, garlic, mint, chilies and lemon juice to a blender and blend until the mint is coarsly chopped.
• Add about 4 oz of the mixture to the lamb and spread it to coat the meat. Marinate overnight. Meanwhile save the remaining mixture.
• Grill the lamb for about 4 minutes each side. Serve with the remaining yogurt mixture drizzled on top.

Steps:

• Boil water and add garlic cloves, cooking until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse garlic under cold water for 30 seconds and set aside. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine 6 cooked garlic cloves with olive oil. Mash together with a fork or whisk, adding thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Rub lamb with herb garlic mixture, coating completely and arrange loins on a baking sheet.
• Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over high heat. Add the lamb loins and cook just until browned on each side, about three minutes. Place the sauté pan in the preheated oven and cook the meat until medium rare, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; place lamb on cutting board and allow to rest.
• Warm the remaining TBSP olive oil in the sauté pan over high heat. Add the 10 remaining garlic cloves and sauté until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze by stirring and scraping all sides of the sauté pan. Cook until the wine reduces by half. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and swirl in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the lamb loins into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Spoon the sauce evenly over the lamb. Scatter garlic around each plate.
