Lamb Lollipops With Garlic Rosemary Food

RIB OF THE WEEK: GARLIC & ROSEMARY LAMB LOLLIPOP CHOPS

Steps:

• Grab your lamb rib chops. Give them a quick rinse under cold water. Pat them dry.
• To French the ribs, with a very sharp knife, remove the fat and meat down to the bone on all sides, scraping the bone clean.
• Sprinkle them with kosher salt to taste.
• Drizzle them with olive oil. Rub the oil on all sides.
• Sprinkle with minced rosemary.
• Smear each rib with garlic.
• Add freshly cracked pepper to taste.
• If you like, marinate the ribs like this overnight in the fridge. Otherwise, they're ready to cook.
• Drizzle a little olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan. Set it on the stove over medium-high heat for a minute or two to heat up.
• When the pan is nice and hot, drop in your chops.
• Sear them like this for a few minutes, until they've developed a nice brown crust on the bottom. (The time will vary from maybe 3-6 minutes per side, depending on how rare you like your lamb.) If the pan starts to smoke, lower the heat a bit.
• When they have a nice crust, flip them over.
• Sear them on this side for about the same amount of time as you cooked the other side, so the chops cook evenly.
• When they have a nice brown crust on the bottom, yank them out of the pan. Let them rest for maybe 5 minutes to help them stay juicy.
• Garnish with a little freshly chopped mint. Enjoy!

PAN SEARED LAMB LOLLIPOPS (CHOPS) WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC AND DIJON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, dijon mustard, minced rosemary, and olive oil; set aside.
• In a large bowl or baking sheet, season lamb chops liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
• Rub the lamb chops with the garlic/dijon mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
• When ready to cook, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and when you know the pan is nice and hot, add lamb chops and cook 2-3 minutes without touching. Turn chops over and cook on other side the same amount of time.
• Remove chops to plate and let rest about 5 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining chops until all are cooked.
• If pan starts to smoke, turn heat down. Serve as is or with mint jelly.

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay chops in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the lamb registers 125 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After cooking the lamb on each side, stand it up on it's edges to brown the sides as well, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat if needed so the browned bits remaining in the pan don't burn. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
• Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, tilting the skillet to keep the garlic submerged in the fat, and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and rosemary, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer over high heat until syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by about half, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and briskly whisk in the butter. When the butter has incorporated, whisk in the mustard and heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve 2 chops per person with the sauce.

WINE, BALSAMIC AND ROSEMARY LAMB CHOP LOLLIPOPS

Steps:

• Combine the wine, garlic and rosemary in a small saucepot and bring to a bare simmer. Remove from the heat, add the balsamic and olive oil, and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag and cover with the cooled marinade. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove the chops from the marinade and pour the marinade into a small saucepan along with the honey. Bring the mixture to a brisk simmer and reduce until slightly syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the lamb chops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high until very hot. Lightly brush with oil.
• Grill the chops, turning once, for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium.
• Serve the chops garnished with rosemary sprigs and drizzled lightly with the reduced marinade.
