Best Grilled Lamb With Herbes De Provence Recipes

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB RUBBED WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut lamb at the joint into two sections: a long, narrow piece and a wide, rounded piece. Place in a shallow bowl. In a small bowl, combine garlic, herbs, oil, and pepper. Using your hands, rub mixture over both lamb pieces to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator; let marinate at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.
• Meanwhile, heat grill; position rack about 6 inches above flame. Season lamb with salt; grill about 9 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 135 degrees for medium rare. Transfer to a platter; loosely cover with foil. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH TAPENADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Brush lamb chops with oil and season on both sides with salt and pepper and the herbes de Provence, pressing the herbs to adhere. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until slightly charred and cooked to medium-rare doneness. Serve 2 chops per person topped with some of the Tapenade Butter. Garnish with fresh oregano, if desired.
• Place butter, anchovies, garlic, zest, and pepper flakes in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the olives, salt, and pepper and pulse until well combined. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, if desired. Remove the butter from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
• Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

• Open lamb like book on work surface. Using tip of small knife, make 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb. Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves. Insert garlic slices into slits in lamb. Combine remaining 4 garlic cloves, mustard, olive oil, white wine, rosemary, and lemon juice in processor. Blend until coarse puree forms. Spread underside of lamb with half of puree. Place lamb, seasoned side down, in 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread remaining puree over top of lamb. Cover lamb with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• Let lamb stand at room temperature 2 hours. Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill lamb to desired doneness, about 17 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to cutting board; let rest 10 to 20 minutes.
