Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
8 frenched lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

Steps:

  • Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.

Yield feeds 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped shallot
Pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup red wine
1 sprig rosemary
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup Mutha Sauce (page 165)
Juice of 1/4 lemon
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup sliced scallion
8 center-cut loin lamb chops (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Olive oil
Lemon pepper

Steps:

  • Fire up the grill. While that's heating, make the sauce. Toss the butter into a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook til just wilted. Toss in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Splash in the red wine and add the rosemary and mustard. Raise the heat to high, and reduce the sauce rapidly for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the Mutha Sauce, lemon juice, and honey and simmer for a minute or two to blend the flavors. Keep warm.
  • Rub the chops down with oil. Season both sides with a generous sprinkling of lemon pepper. Place over the coals. Cook for about 4 minutes, then flip the chops and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or til a rosy medium-rare, 130° to 135°. Pull them off the grill.
  • Fish out the rosemary sprig from the sauce, and stir in the scallions. Pour it over the chops and enjoy.
