Zesty Herbed Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, bread crumbs, and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to chop, then add enough olive oil until a paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper. Press paste firmly onto surface of lamb chops. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saute pan and brown each side of the chops, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the crust to integrate into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, for approximately 6 to 8 additional minutes.

Steps:

• Combine herbs and salt; rub over lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with mint jelly if desired.

Steps:

• Hand chop or use a food processor to chop garlic, mint, and cilantro. If you go a little over or under on the mint and cilantro, no worries. It just adds more flavor. Make sure you have a good grater and lemon juicer to save time.
• Mix the first 9 ingredients together in a heavy duty plastic gallon size baggie. Once mixed, pour about a 1/2 cup out of the bag and into a bowl. Set aside for marinating in the grill.
• Add the washed and dried Lamb Chops to the baggie. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; overnight is even better. Turn the bag over a few times while marinating to make sure you spread it over all of the lamb chops.
• About an hour before grilling remove the baggie from the refrigerator and let the meat warm slightly.
• Pre-heat the grill on high to about 350 degrees, and just before placing the chops on the grill turn to low. The oil in the marinate tends to want to flare up the grill. Place the chops on the grill and after the marinade has stopped dripping - 30 seconds or so, turn the heat back to medium and close the grill.
• Grill 4 minutes on first side. Turn, and top each chop with a small amount of reserved marinade. Watch for flare ups. Grill for an additional 4 minutes for medium rare.
• Remove from grill and top with remaining marinade. Serve with a salad or grilled vegetables and enjoy!
