Rachael Rays Broiled Lamb Chops With Balsamic Reduction Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan to high. Brush chops with a little olive oil. Combine dry spice blend in a small container, cover and shake to combine. Rub spice blend into the chops on both sides. Grill chops 7 to 8 minutes, turning once, for medium rare, 10 to 12 minutes for medium to medium well. Serve with wedges of lemon.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
• Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Arrange chops on broiler pan.
• In a small pot, combine vinegar, sugar, rosemary, and garlic.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low.
• Simmer 10 minutes to reduce heat and thicken sauce.
• Remove garlic.
• Broil chops 5 minutes on each side for medium rare.
• Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to warm serving platter and drizzle with the balsamic rosemary reduction.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and garlic. Season with salt, to taste. Set aside.
• Set a 12-inch oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the black pepper. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil to the saute pan and place the lamb, fat side down, in the pan. Sear the lamb until the fat has rendered and the skin is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook the lamb, turning to cook evenly on each side, about 2 minutes each side. Baste them with the herb and oil mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the lamb is rare, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the lamb chops.
• Make the balsamic drizzle while the lamb is cooking: Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots to the pan and sweat until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and sweat for 30 seconds. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the rosemary and allow the balsamic to gently boil and reduce until only about 1/4 cup of balsamic remains, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from the heat and swirl the butter into the pan. Remove the rosemary sprigs before using.
• When the lamb is rare, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, slice each double chop in half, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.

Steps:

• Stir together honey, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper and transfer to a sealable plastic bag.
• Add lamb, then seal bag, pressing out excess air and turning to distribute marinade.
• Marinate lamb, chilled, turning occasionally, 1 hour.
• Bring lamb to room temperature.
• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill and on lid.
• Remove lamb from marinade, reserving marinade.
• When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds), grill lamb on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, about 4 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
• Cook tomatoes (still on vine, if using) in disposable roasting pan, covered with grill lid, carefully turning, until softened and just beginning to split, about 8 minutes.
• Drizzle balsamic vinegar over tomatoes, turning to coat, then cook, uncovered, until vinegar is reduced by about half, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from grill.
• Bring reserved marinade with any lamb juices accumulated on platter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, covered.
• Drizzle lamb with marinade and serve with tomatoes.
• Cooks' note:
• Lamb and tomatoes can also be grilled in batches in a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat (tomatoes will take less time to soften, about 3 minutes).
