Best Lamb Chops With Artichoke Mint Salad Recipes

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the olive oil, mint, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub the lamb chops all over with the garlic. Transfer a few tablespoons of the mint oil to a small bowl and brush on the chops.
• Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

CHINOIS GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH CILANTRO MINT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients. Pour them over the lamb and let it marinate for 1 hour. Remove from the marinade and let stand until ready to cook.
• While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vinaigrette. To make the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, and blend. Slowly add peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper and strain, if necessary, into a bowl.
• Season the lamb with salt and pepper and place it on a hot grill. Grill medium rare, about 15 to 20 minutes; or cut the rack into chops and saute them in a pan over high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. (Cook the chops in several batches, if necessary, but don't crowd the pan.)
• Make an island of the sauce on each plate. Place lamb chops on center. Decorate with cilantro or mint sprigs on top and serve with stir-fried vegetable or stir-fried rice.

ROSEMARY AND GARLIC LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED POTATO AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until tender, tossing from time to time, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the lamb, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the salad's olive oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the canned artichoke hearts and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the roasted potatoes, sauteed and raw artichoke hearts, fava beans and tomato in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salad's salt and pepper to taste.
• For the lamb, increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast until medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile for the salad, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Add to the salad and toss to coat.
• Carve the lamb. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top each serving with 2 lamb chops. Serve immediately.

ROAST LAMB WITH ARTICHOKES AND LEMONS

Steps:

• Lamb and artichokes:
• Preheat oven to 325°. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Generously season lamb on all sides with salt and pepper and cook, turning often, until well browned, 12-15 minutes. Transfer lamb and oil to a roasting pan.
• Carefully add wine to skillet, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 cups water and pour into roasting pan. Squeeze lemons over lamb; add to pan. Roast 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, remove tough dark outer leaves from artichokes. Using a serrated knife, trim 1" from top. Trim stems and remove tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Halve artichokes lengthwise. Toss to coat with pan juices and tuck under and around lamb. Roast, turning artichokes occasionally, until artichokes are tender and meat is falling off the bone, 1 1/2-2 hours. (Remove artichokes if they become too soft before meat is done.)
• Anchovy-herb oil and assembly:
• Pulse oil, anchovies, garlic, parsley, mint, and red pepper flakes in a food processor until smooth; season with salt.
• When done, place lamb in a large bowl and transfer artichokes, lemons, and garlic with a slotted spoon to bowl. Pour anchovy-herb oil over; tent with foil. Transfer pan juices to a glass measuring cup. Let sit a few minutes, then spoon off fat from surface. Serve lamb with artichoke mixture and pan juices.

LAMB CHOPS WITH FRESH MINT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons of the oil, and the sugar. Add mint and stir to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add the remaining olive oil.
• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chops in skillet until medium rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Top with the mint mixture and serve immediately.

• Add onion and artichoke hearts to same skillet (add 1 tablespoon oil if skillet is dry). Cook over medium heat until softened and golden (do not brown), 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine; cook until almost all liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add stock and tomatoes; cover, and cook 3 minutes. Uncover; cook until sauce is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in olives and zest. Season with salt and pepper.
