Orange Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Place lamb chops in a large bowl. Season with olive oil, garlic, cumin, mixed herbs, pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Toss until well coated with oil and seasonings. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place lamb chops on grill. Sprinkle the chops with a bit of salt. Grill until seared on the first side, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops. Rotate chops a half turn on the grill about a minute before turning them. Turn and grill the other side to desired doneness, another 4 to 7 minutes. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should bead 125 to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.
• Place marmalade in bowl. Add chili flakes, mint, and rice vinegar. Stir together thoroughly.
• Brush the sauce over the chops and serve.

Steps:

• For the chops: In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, salt, pepper, hot sauce and orange zest. Rub the mixture on all sides of the lamb chops. Place on a plate or baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with some of the olive oil. Flip the chops and drizzle some on the other side. Rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Heat a grill to medium high. Place the chops over direct heat and grill just 1 to 2 minutes on one side. Flip, grilling just 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a clean baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.
• For the chutney: Place the orange sections in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes and flesh into a separate medium bowl. Add the marmalade, parsley, Worcestershire, hot sauce and scallion to the juice. Taste and season the sauce with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Pour over the orange sections in the large bowl and gently toss to coat. Serve over the rested lamb chops.

Steps:

• In a small pan, sauté sliced mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of butter, until mushroom juices evaporate; then set aside (if using canned mushrooms, omit this step).
• Trim excess fat from chops.
• Combine orange peel, juice and thyme; spoon mixture over chops.
• Let chops marinate for 1 hour at room temperature (or about 3 hours in refrigerator), turn chops once or twice.
• Remove chops from marinade, and reserve.
• Brown chops on both sides in hot shortening; season with salt and pepper.
• Add reserved orange mixture and mushrooms.
• Cover pan and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Uncover pan and simmer about 5 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Stir together capers, zest, garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Pat chops dry and season with salt. Arrange chops on a plate and spread about 2 teaspoons of caper mixture on top of each chop, pressing lightly to help adhere.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook chops, coated sides down, 6 minutes. Turn chops over with tongs and cook about 10 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer chops, coated sides up, to a clean plate and let stand 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from lamb chops.
