Mint And Mustard Dipping Sauce For Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
• Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Steps:

• For the spice rub and lamb: Stir together the salt, pepper, coriander, cayenne and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops on both sides with the spice rub. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the mint sauce.
• For the mint sauce: In a food processor, add the mint, parsley, anchovies, garlic and some red pepper flakes. Process, adding olive oil as you go, until the sauce is just loose enough to drizzle. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Heat a grill pan or grill on medium-high heat. Oil the grill and pat the chops dry. Grill the lamb until done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with the mint sauce and Baked Sweet Potato with Sour Cream and Mint.
• Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and microwave on high according to the manufacturer's instructions until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the mint and tomatoes.

Steps:

• For the lamb chops:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Over high heat, preheat a large skillet with cooking oil. Liberally season the racks of lamb with salt and fresh ground pepper. Place the meat in the pan and sear all sides over high heat until evenly browned. Place the racks on a sheet pan and place in the oven to finish cooking. See Chef's Note 1. For medium rare, about 8 minutes; medium, about 10 minutes; and well done, about 15 minutes. These are general guidelines but the cooking times will vary depending on the size of the rack.
• After they are finished cooking in the oven, remove the racks and allow them to rest approximately 10 minutes. Cutting from the meat side of the rack, so that you can better visualize the chop size, cut each chop individually.
• For the yogurt:
• Place the yogurt, lime juice and garlic in a blender and puree on high speed until blended. While blending, slowly incorporate the mint and season with salt, cayenne, and cumin.
• For assembly:
• Liberally cover a nice serving platter with the yogurt sauce. Arrange the chops on the platter and decorate with extra mint leaves and pinches of paprika.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, honey and mint. Add salt, pepper and olive oil. Stir well and set aside.
• Heat a regular (not non-stick) skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle lamb chops with black pepper. Sprinkle kosher salt into pan. Place chops in pan. Cook 2-4 min per side for medium rare, 3-6 min per side for medium well.
• In another skillet, melt 1/2 tbsp butter. Add mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute about 5 min, until mushrooms have released all their juices and are nice and soft. Add water and stir. Scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add 1/2 tbsp butter and cook until melted.
• Serve lamb chops with mint sauce, and mushrooms on the side.

Steps:

• Brush the chops on both sides with a little oil and season with black pepper.
• Put the chops under the broiler, 4 inches from the heat, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare chops, slightly longer for well-done.
• Arrange the lamb chops on warmed serving plates and serve immediately with the warm minted hollandaise sauce.
• Good served with asparagus and a carrot salad.
• Hollandaise sauce: Whisk together the lemon juice, viegar, and egg yolks.
• Put over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk until thick.
• Melt the butter and add, a little at a time, to the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
• Stir in the fresh mint and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer to a gravy boat and serve immediately.
• Variation: Lemon and Thyme Hollandaise: Make the sauce as directed, substituting 1 tsp grated lemon zest and 1 tbls chopped fresh thyme for the chopped mint.
• Serve with the lamb chops.

Steps:

• Prepare the lamb: Stir together mustard, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture all over lamb. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours (or up to overnight).
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: Whisk together jelly, vinegar, and the water in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in mint.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring lamb to room temperature. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Just before serving, cut lamb racks into individual chops. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve with dipping sauce.
