Lemon Garlic Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, lemons, olive oil, mint and rosemary in a large bowl. Sprinkle the lamb chops with the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste; add to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Working in batches, cook the chops and lemons until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the chops topped with the lemons.

Steps:

• Whisk together oil, garlic and thyme in a shallow large baking dish. Add the chops and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Remove the chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat grill to high and grill the chops for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove and rest for 2 minutes. Slice into individual chops.
• Brush the cut side of the lemons with the oil and grill, cut side down on high for 1 minute. Turn lemons 45 degrees to make hatch marks and remove.
• Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the platter of chops. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh sprigs of oregano and dill. Serve the remaining grilled lemons on the platter with the chops.

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chops and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon shallot-herb mixture onto eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops over onto large rimmed baking sheet. Press remaining shallot- herb mixture onto eye of each chop. Cover lamb chops with sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops. Turn chops over and spoon remaining oil mixture over. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb chops to platter. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together first 7 ingredients. Pour marinade over chops and let marinade 20 min-1 hours.
• Preheat grill pan and grill to desired done-ness (I prefer mine med-rare which takes 3-4 minute on each side).
• Note: You can cook the lamb however you prefer, grill pan, broiler, saute pan etc.

Steps:

• Chop garlic. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear lamb 3 minutes. Turn lamb over and sear 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to 2 plates. Add garlic, lemon juice, and water to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour sauce over lamb.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, thyme and garlic in a shallow dish.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, place chops in and turn over once to coat the meat.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour or up to four hours.
• Cook over high heat on barbecue grill to desired doneness.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the first eight ingredients; add the chops and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight., Drain and discard marinade. Broil lamb 3-4 in. from the heat for 4-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).

Steps:

• Remove chops from refrigerator and pat them dry. Sprinkle both sides with the black pepper, oregano and garlic. Add half of the olive oil and rub both sides well. Let the chops sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes. When ready to cook, sprinkle both sides with the sea salt.
• Heat the rest of the olive oil in a large cast iron pan over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, place the chops meat-side down in the pan, making sure you do not crowd the pan.
• Let the lamb brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the heat of your pan and the size of the chops. Once browned on one side, turn the chops over and brown the other side. Quickly sear the fatty and bone edges of the chops as well. (If you have a grill, use it for even better flavor!)
• Add the slices of lemon to the pan and shake the pan to distribute evenly (the lemon provides the acidity to help deglaze the pan).
• Once all of the sides have browned, lower the heat and continue to cook until the lamb chops are done to your liking. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check. Remove the meat from the pan at 125°F for rare, and 130° to 135°F for medium rare. Some of the chops may cook faster than others, so check them as they cook, and pull them off the pan when ready.
• Place the chops on a plate and cover with foil (this is very important). Let them rest for 10 minutes. Serve with the lemon slices, fresh rosemary and the accumulated pan juices.
