Porcini Crusted Lamb Chops With Rosemary Garlic Emulsion Food

ROSEMARY GARLIC CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the rosemary and garlic.
• In a small pan heat the balsamic vinegar over medium heat. Let the vinegar come to a boil and then turn the heat down and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. This should take about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your pan. Once the liquid has been reduced, whisk in the honey and set aside. If the reduction becomes too thick when cooled, gently re-heat for a more liquid consistency.
• Place the lamb chops on a large cutting board or a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush each lamb chop with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and then rub the rosemary garlic onto each side of each lamb chop.
• Cover the lamb chops with a sheet of plastic wrap and give each chop a little pound with either a meat mallet or the palm of your hand. This is so the rosemary garlic mixture will nicely stick to the lamb chop. Remove the plastic before cooking. This step can be done the night before and chops held in refrigerator until ready to cook.
• Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the chops. You may need to pan sear the chops in batches.
• After adding the chops to the pan turn the heat down to medium. Brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side should give you medium to medium rare. Transfer the chops to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let them rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Drizzle the Balsamic Reduction on each plate or a platter and then top with two rib chops per person. Garnish with chopped fresh Italian parsley.

GARLIC AND HERB CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, bread crumbs, and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to chop, then add enough olive oil until a paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper. Press paste firmly onto surface of lamb chops. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saute pan and brown each side of the chops, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 minutes to allow the crust to integrate into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, for approximately 6 to 8 additional minutes.

PORCINI CRUSTED LAMB WITH ROSEMARY-GARLIC EMULSION

Steps:

• In a blender, process the dried porcini mushrooms into a fine powder. Transfer 3 Tbs. of the porcini powder to a bowl (reserve the rest for another use). Add the bread crumbs, cheese and chopped parsley to the bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
• Season the racks of lamb with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 375ºF.
• Drizzle each rack of lamb with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, rubbing it evenly over the meat. Coat the lamb with the bread crumb mixture, pressing so it adheres.
• Heat an 11-inch nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is just smoking, lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the racks of lamb and sear, turning once, until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the racks, away from the bone, registers 130ºF for medium-rare, 20 to 25 minutes, or until done to your liking. Transfer the racks to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
• 
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the 3/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, vinegar, the 1 teaspoons salt and pepper, to taste. Blend on high until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the parsley, mint and rosemary leaves and pulse, scraping down the sides of the blender occasionally, until the herbs are chopped. Pulse less for a chunkier consistency and more for a smoother consistency.
• Carve the racks into individual chops and arrange on a warmed platter. Pass the sauce alongside.
