Lamb Chops Provencale Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
• Pat chops dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total).

Brown chops in 2 batches, turning once, about 4 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onions, bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits, then remove from heat.
• Peel potatoes and slice about 1/8 inch thick. Scatter half of potatoes in a shallow 3-quart baking dish, then top with half of onions. Scatter garlic, thyme, and olives over onions, then top with lamb chops. Repeat layering remaining potatoes and onions, then pour wine, broth, and meat juices over top.

Steps:

• Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; brown chops on all sides, including browning the fat on the edges, until well browned, about 10 minutes each side. Continue cooking another 15 to 18 minutes, turning once until chops are done. This will produce a medium rare chop. Five minutes before they are done sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. For well done meat cook 15 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile heat olive oil in another skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon chopped dried rosemary. Cook 5 to 10 minutes. The tomatoes should not become mushy. Add olives and heat through.

Steps:

• Nick edges of chops in several places to prevent curling.
• Brush olive oil on both sides of chops.

• Grill over high heat 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
• The chops should register 135 degrees at the thickest part.
• Transfer to a platter and set aside for a few minutes before serving.
• Sprinkle with remaining herbs.

Steps:

• Trim fat from the chops. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together olive oil, basil, parsley, scallions, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Marinate chops for half an hour, turning once. Without removing the marinade ingredients from the surface of the chops, coat them with bread crumbs. Broil the chops, not too closely to the heat, for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the crumbs are nicely browned and the chops are pink on the inside.
• Meanwhile prepare the sauce: Cook the wine and consomme in a saucepan. Knead together the butter and crumbs, shallots, parsley, scallions, salt and pepper. Add this mixture to the simmering liquid, stirring. Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until some of the liquid evaporates and the sauce thickens. Just before serving, stir in the zest of 1/4 orange and 2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice. Serve in a sauceboat with lamb chops.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the leg of lamb in a large roasting pan fat side up and pat it dry with paper towels. Combine the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the garlic, the rosemary, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a mini food processor and pulse until the garlic and rosemary are minced. Spread the mixture on the lamb.
• Place the tomatoes, olive oil, 1/4 cup of the honey, the onion, the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a bowl and toss well. Pour the tomato mixture around the lamb and tuck in the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Drizzle the lamb with the remaining 1/4 cup of honey.
• Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Place the lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Discard the herb stems and return the tomatoes to the oven to keep warm. Slice the lamb, arrange on a platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve with the tomatoes and pan juices spooned on top. Garnish with a branch of rosemary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Sear lamb in hot oil until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Saute onion and garlic in reserved drippings until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer drained lamb chops to a baking dish; add onion mixture. Sprinkle rosemary over the chops. Pour beef broth and red wine into the baking dish. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 3 hours.
• Remove lamb to a serving platter. Carefully drain liquid from baking dish into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Beat cornstarch and water together in a bowl using a whisk to assure no lumps remain; stir into the liquid in the saucepan. Add Worcestershire sauce and cook until the liquid thickens into a gravy, about 5 minutes.

• Add mushrooms to skillet and saute until lightly browned. Add wine and stir to loosen all brown bits from bottom. Empty mushrooms and wine into a bowl and mix with tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley and reduced chicken stock.
• Return all chops to skillet (making 2 layers, if necessary) and pour mixture in bowl over them. Season very lightly with salt and pepper, cover skillet securely and cook over very low heat about 2 hours, or until meat is almost but not quite falling off the bone.
• Remove chops to serving platter and keep warm. Raise heat under skillet and boil contents hard, stirring constantly, until the mixture has a viscous, saucelike consistency. Pour over chops and serve.
