PARMESAN LAMB CHOPS



Parmesan Lamb Chops image

Though you can buy individual rib chops, it is easy to cut a rack into eight chops yourself, which is more economical. (You will want to have it Frenched, that is, trimmed to expose the bones and rib-eye. Most butchers sell lamb racks that are already prepared this way.) How many chops make a portion? Two make a moderate serving, but you may need three or four for heartier appetites. A wonderful way to prepare rib chops is to coat them in a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, then fry them gently in olive oil to give them a crisp, golden, savory crust. Served with lemon wedges and a pile of garlicky greens like broccoli rabe or spinach, they make a lovely treat.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small rack of lamb, Frenched by a butcher, about 11/2 pounds, or 8 3-ounce rib chops
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs, preferably homemade
1/2 ounce grated Parmesan (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon powdered fennel seed (use an electric spice mill or mortar and pestle)
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
1/2 cup flour seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and a pinch cayenne
2 small eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil for frying (or substitute clarified butter or vegetable oil)
Parsley sprigs for serving
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, cut between bones to divide the rack of lamb into 8 chops. Trim chops of any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, fennel seed and rosemary.
  • Dip each chop into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs. Lay the chops on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each liberally with the crumb mixture. Press any remaining mixture evenly over the chops to coat well.
  • In a wide skillet, pour the olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over a medium-high burner until the oil looks wavy. Add the chops without crowding. They should begin to sizzle, but not brown too quickly. Adjust the heat so they fry gently for about 21/2 minutes, until crisp and golden. Turn with tongs and fry on the other side for about 2 minutes. (The interiors should be pink and juicy, but not rare.) Blot on paper towels. Serve with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.

LAMB CHOPS FRIED IN PARMESAN BATTER



Lamb Chops Fried in Parmesan Batter image

This dish comes from the celebrated Italian cook Marcella Hazan. She showed me how to pound lamb chops for her splendid dish, and teased me for not doing it thoroughly enough.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 single-rib lamb chops, partly boned and flattened as described below*
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, spread on a plate
2 eggs, beaten lightly in a deep dish
1 cup fine dry unflavored bread crumbs, spread on a plate
Vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Turn the chops on both sides in the grated Parmesan, pressing the chop firmly against the crumbs, using the palm of your hands to make the cheese adhere to the meat. Tap the chops gently against the plate to shake off excess cheese. Dip them into the beaten egg, letting the excess flow back into the dish. Turn the chops in the bread crumbs, coating both sides, and tap them again to shake off excess.
  • Pour enough oil in a skillet to come 1/4 inch up the sides, and turn on the heat to medium. When the oil is very hot, slip as many chops into the pan as will fit without crowding. When one side forms a nice golden crust, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, turn the chop and sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side. As soon as the second side has formed a crust, transfer to a warm platter, using a slotted spoon or spatula. Repeat the procedure, slipping more chops into the pan as soon as there is room for them. When all the chops are done, serve promptly.

MARCELLA HAZAN'S LAMB CHOPS FRIED IN PARMESAN BUTTER



MARCELLA HAZAN'S LAMB CHOPS FRIED IN PARMESAN BUTTER image

Categories     Lamb

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 single-rib lamb chops, partly boned and flattened as described below*
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, spread on a plate
2 eggs, beaten lightly in a deep dish
1 cup fine dry unflavored bread crumbs, spread on a plate
Vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
If possible, have a butcher knock off the corner bone and remove the backbone, leaving just the rib. Flatten the eye of the lamb chop with a meat pounder. (If you don't have a butcher to remove the bones, you'll still be able to flatten the meat a bit with a pounder. It will remain a little thicker, so the chops will take an extra minute or two to cook.)

Steps:

  • 1. Turn the chops on both sides in the grated Parmesan, pressing the chop firmly against the crumbs, using the palm of your hands to make the cheese adhere to the meat. Tap the chops gently against the plate to shake off excess cheese. Dip them into the beaten egg, letting the excess flow back into the dish. Turn the chops in the bread crumbs, coating both sides, and tap them again to shake off excess. 2. Pour enough oil in a skillet to come ¼ inch up the sides, and turn on the heat to medium. When the oil is very hot, slip as many chops into the pan as will fit without crowding. When one side forms a nice golden crust, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, turn the chop and sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side. As soon as the second side has formed a crust, transfer to a warm platter, using a slotted spoon or spatula. Repeat the procedure, slipping more chops into the pan as soon as there is room for them. When all the chops are done, serve promptly.
