Aromatic Lamb Italiano With Salsa Verde Recipes

LAMB CHOPS SCOTTADITA WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Salsa Verde, part 1: Use your fingers to split open the anchovies and remove the bones. Roughly chop the anchovies with the capers. Combine the anchovies, capers, grated garlic, lemon zest, and the salt in the mortar and pestle; grind them to a paste.
• Salsa Verde, part 2: Stirring constantly with the pestle, add the olive oil a few drops at a time to maintain a paste-like consistency. Thinly slice and add the parsley to the olive oil mixture. Continue to grind until the parsley is incorporated into the paste. Stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Alternative method, with food processor: Combine the parsley, anchovies, capers, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to roughly chop the ingredients. Turn off the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil, stopping after you've added half of the oil to scrape down the bowl again, and then slowly adding the rest. Add more olive oil as needed to achieve a loose paste. (Don't mix it any longer than necessary, as the blade will heat the garlic and give it a bitter flavor. Over-processing also incorporates too much air into the sauce, giving it an undesirable texture.) Taste for seasoning and add more salt or lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. (After that, it will lose its green color and vibrant flavor.) Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Lamb Chops: Prepare a hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill, or preheat a grill pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the lamb chops on the grill to cook, 2-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Assemble: Char the fresh rosemary sprigs in the fire and place them on the lamb chops. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and rest them for 10 minutes before serving alongside plenty of Salsa Verde.

GRILLED LAMB WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Stir the first 7 ingredients and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large bowl to blend. Whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Set the salsa verde aside. Place the lamb in a 15 by 10 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Rub the minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes all over lamb. Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde over the lamb, turning the lamb to coat evenly. Use immediately, or cover the dish and remaining salsa verde separately with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the lamb until a meat thermometer inserted into the thicker parts registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 40 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a work surface and let rest 15 minutes.
• Cut the lamb across grain into thin slices. Arrange the lamb slices on a platter. Serve the remaining salsa verde alongside.

ITALIAN SPRINGTIME LAMB

Steps:

• For the lamb: Remove the lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• Warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, rosemary, pepper flakes and walnuts. Toast until fragrant and beginning to brown. Add the chopped spinach and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and cook until wilted. Stir in the raisins.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the lamb out flat, fat-side down, on a board in front of you. If it is still very thick, gently pound it to an even, 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread evenly with the mustard; distribute the spinach mixture over the mustard. Starting from one side, roll up the lamb with the filling inside so that it maintains the shape of the leg. Tie with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Season the outside with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Wipe out the saute pan and add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Place the pan over high heat and allow it to get hot. Place the lamb in the pan and sear it on all sides until golden brown all over, about two minutes per side. Transfer the lamb to a rimmed baking sheet or a roasting pan and roast until the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
• While the lamb is roasting, prepare the gremolata: In a small saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring regularly, until golden brown. Add the parsley, lemon zest, pepper flakes and salt. Toss and set aside to let the flavors mingle.
• Serve the sliced lamb with a sprinkling of the breadcrumb gremolata.
