The classic pairing of lamb with bright green mint jelly has largely gone away, but lamb and mint is a delicious combination. Here's a tasty substitute for the store bought jelly using orange marmalade and fresh mint.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Chops

Time 1h25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 (8 ounce) lamb shoulder chops
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
Kosher salt, to taste
olive oil
½ cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ bunch fresh mint, leaves only, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Using the dull side of a knife, "chop" the rosemary sprigs to bruise them and release their fragrance. Season chops with pepper (no salt) and place in a resealable plastic bag along with the garlic, rosemary, and pomegranate juice. Seal bag; massage gently to distribute flavors. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  • Place orange marmalade into a saucepan. Add vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and immediately remove from heat. Pour through a fine strainer to remove orange rind. Add pepper flakes. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. When cold, stir in mint (if jelly is still warm, mint will turn black) until combined.
  • Remove lamb from marinade; discard marinade. Salt both sides of the lamb chops. Lightly drizzle with about 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil.
  • Lightly oil a grill and set at medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned and meat is medium rare, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
  • Serve with mint jelly.

MARINATED LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh dill, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves cut into chiffonade
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch kosher salt
4 thick (3/4-inch) lamb shoulder chops

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, oregano, dill, mint, garlic, lemon zest and juice, red pepper flakes and salt in a small bowl to form a thick paste. Slather on the lamb chops. Marinate the chops at room temperature up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If the lamb was in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill to medium. When the grill is hot, brush the grates with a wire grill brush to loosen any crud. Wipe the grates with an oiled side towel to pick up any loose soot or crud.
  • Arrange the lamb chops on the grill. Do not move the chops for 2 to 3 minutes to allow lovely grill marks to form. Rotate the chops 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chops and repeat the process. Remove the chops from the grill to a platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT CHUTNEY



Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Chutney image

From The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman. "You can make this easy mint chutney quite hot, and it still seems balanced, especially when served with a rich, flavorful meat like lamb. Heat comes in a wide variety of flavors, and what works best here is a bit of roasted fresh hananero (also called Scotch bonnet), the hottest chile you can find. But minced raw jalapeno or hot red pepper flakes are also good. No matter what you use, add a little at a time (I'd start with a quarter teaspoon if you're using habanero) and taste repeatedly, bearing in mind that the heat of chiles can "bloom" after a few minutes. Serve this with a neutral dish like plain rice, and perhaps a cooling salad."

GRILLED SHOULDER LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC-ROSEMARY MARINADE



Grilled Shoulder Lamb Chops With Garlic-Rosemary Marinade image

This is my favorite recipe for lamb chops-- few ingredients, simple preparation, great flavor. Shoulder lamb chops are less expensive than other lamb chops, but I think they're just as delicious. Can also be grilled on a gas grill. (from Cook's Illustrated)

Provided by Velouria

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large garlic cloves, pureed (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 shoulder lamb chops, about 3/4 inch thick (blade or round bone)
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl. Rub both sides of each chop with the paste; let stand at least 30 minutes. (Can be refrigerated overnight.).
  • FOR CHARCOAL GRILL:.
  • Heat enough coals to cover surface area large enough for four chops. Once coals are covered with gray ash, spread them, set grill rack in place, and cover grill with lid in order to heat rack, about 5 minutes. Or heat oven broiler.
  • Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Position chops over hot coals. Grill until bottom of each chop is well browned, about 2 minutes. (If chops start to flame, pull off heat for a moment or extinguish flames with squirt bottle.) Turn each chop and cook about 2 more minutes for medium-rare or 2 1/2 minutes for medium. If broiling, position chops 2 to 3 inches from heating element and cook about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes each side for medium.
  • FOR GAS GRILL:.
  • Turn all burners on grill to high, close lid, and heat until grill is very hot, about 15 minutes. Leave one burner on high and turn other burner(s) down to medium.
  • Rub chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill chops, covered, over hotter part of grill, turning them once, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Move chops to cooler part of grill and continue grilling, turning once, to desired doneness, about 6 minutes for rare (about 120 degrees on instant-read thermometer), about 8 minutes for medium (about 130 degrees), or about 10 minutes for well-done (140 to 150 degrees).
  • Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
