Steps:
- For the lamb chops: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the rosemary, garlic, crushed red pepper and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil to the mix. Reserve.
- Remove 2 rib bones from each rack of lamb and cut the remaining racks into 6 equal, thicker chops (instead of 8 thinner chops).
- Sprinkle the lamb chops with salt and reserve at room temperature. Brush both sides of the chops with the rosemary mixture.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the lamb chops on all sides, including the fat edge. (Remember: Brown food tastes good! If your pan gets too hot, lower the heat. Ditch the oil in between the batches and start off with fresh oil. It is really important not to crowd the pan while browning the chops. If the pan is crowded, the chops will steam instead of browning and getting crispy.) When all the chops are browned, arrange them neatly on a sheet tray (with sides, you don't want any juices or fat to run off). Brush the browned chops with the rosemary mixture. Roast the chops for 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, 12 to 15 minutes for medium.
- For the salad: Meanwhile, toss together the fennel, arugula, radicchio, red onion and olives with the olive oil, lemon juice and a generous sprinkle of salt in a large bowl. Taste to make sure it is delicious. Arrange the salad on a large serving platter and top the salad with the hot lamb chops to wilt the salad a little bit. Brush the chops with any remaining rosemary oil and drizzle any juice from the baking sheet over the lamb.
- Chop chop!

Steps:
- Whisk together the oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, rosemary, cumin, garlic and 2 tablespoons mint in a medium bowl. Place the lamb into a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over the lamb. Season with salt and pepper, seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Add the lemon zest and juice and remaining 6 tablespoons mint to the remaining marinade and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot; lightly brush with oil.
- Remove the lamb from the bag, letting the excess marinade drip off (discard the marinade). Season with salt and pepper. Grill the chops, turning once, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Serve the chops with the reserved marinade.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the fennel and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, with the tomatoes cut-side up. Roast until the tomatoes are soft and the fennel is golden, about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Meanwhile, cook the garlic in the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and 2 1/2 cups water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in the oregano and parmesan, if desired.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and grill until marked on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until just firm to the touch, 4 to 5 more minutes for medium-rare. Divide the beans among plates and top with the lamb and roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Spread chops between two layers of plastic wrap. Using rolling pin or kitchen mallet, pound them until they are all an even thickness. Place the chops in a single layer in a large glass dish.
- In small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, oregano, zest, juice and olives. Pour mixture over chops. Season to taste with salt. Turn chops in the marinade to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
- Place large skillet over high heat, and add vegetable oil. Remove chops from marinade, scraping off excess, and place them in skillet; reserve marinade. Sear until browned, about 2 minutes a side. Reduce heat to medium, and add reserved marinade and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until cooked to taste, about 5 minutes for rare chops.
- To serve, transfer chops to a platter. Top with pan juices and serve immediately.
