LAMB CHOPS WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Season both sides of lamb chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lamb (in two batches, if necessary) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140 degrees for medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, shallot, cilantro, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lamb.

GREEK LAMB WITH YOGURT MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
• Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Turn lamb over and sear 2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to 4 plates. Add garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, and stock to skillet and deglaze over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Whisk in butter. Pour sauce over lamb.

ROSEMARY LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour oil over both sides of chops; rub with herb mixture. , In a large skillet, cook chops over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).

LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the lamb with the salt and pepper.
• Mix the oil, garlic and rosemary. Spoon half on the lamb and grill 1 minute per side. Place on a sheet pan and cover with the rest of the marinade. Roast in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reaches 125 degrees for rare, 130 degrees for medium rare.
• Cool for 5 minutes, then slice off individual chops and serve with sea salt for dipping. (S.R.O. uses tiny lamb chops, which fit into scallion ''sleeves.'' The racks generally sold by your butcher will be too big for this touch.)

LAMB CHOPS WITH HORSERADISH DILL CREAM

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl or resealable bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper (about 4 turns of the peppermill). Add the chops and marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature. If marinating longer, refrigerate and bring back to room temperature before cooking.
• While the lamb is marinating, make the cream. In a small bowl combine the creme fraiche, green onion, dill, horseradish, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and a few more turns of the peppermill. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Remove chops from marinade and place in skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer pan to the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chops this should yield a medium rare to medium doneness.
• Using an oven mitt, remove pan from oven, remove chops from pan to serving dish and tent with foil for a 3-5 minutes. The chops will continue to cook a bit while sitting.
• Serve with horseradish dill cream on the side.
