Broiled Lamb Chop With Broiled New Potatoes Recipes

BROILED LAMB CHOP RECIPE - THE RIGHT TEMP TO COOK

Steps:

• Set the oven to broil.
• Place the lamb chops in a bowl. You can wash and dry the lamb chops, first, if you prefer. Lightly season the lamb chops with freshly cracked pepper, fine sea salt, and olive oil and then gently massage the mixture into the meat.
• Place the seasoned chops on a sheet pan that has been greased. Insert the sliced garlic cloves into the lamb chops.
• Remove the leaves from the rosemary plant by placing one hand near the top of the stem and then use your fingers on the opposite hand to scrape down the entire stem from the top to the base. Or, you can simply leave the sprig whole to make it easier to remove later. Take the fresh rosemary leaves and gently roll them between the palms of your hands to release their natural oils. Next, place a few of the freshly pressed rosemary leaves, or the just the whole spring, on top of each of the chops.
• Place the lamb chops into the oven so that they are at least 8 or more inches from the heat source. Allow the lamb chops to broil until they are perfectly medium-rare, or about 8 minutes. For rare chops, about 6 minutes, or about 12 minutes for well-done chops.
• When you are ready to eat the lamb chops, simply remove the garlic halves, brush the rosemary aside with your utensil, and then dig in. Large chunks of cooked garlic can be a bit overpowering to some people, while rosemary, whether fresh or dry, tends to have a woodsy texture that can make it tough to chew. Therefore, you'll want to remove them before indulging in your lamb chops for best results.

BROILED LAMB CHOP WITH BROILED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain (don't peel), cut in half, and rub a little olive oil and salt over them. Rub salt, olive oil, and pepper over the chops, too, and arrange both the chops and the potatoes on a broiler pan. Slip them about 4 inches under a preheated broiler, and cook for 4 minutes, then turn and broil another 3 minutes. Meanwhile, make a paste of garlic and salt (see page 48) and spread it over the lamb chops after you take them out of the oven. Let rest for a minute or two while you chop some parsley. Sprinkle that over both the chops and the potatoes, and dig in. You're alone, so you can pick up the chop and nibble the meat close to the bone-it's always the best. Set aside any uneaten portions of lamb for Lamb and Lentils (recipe follows).
• Cook the chops on a grill. Timing depends on how hot your fire is, so check carefully. When the flesh springs back, it is done. Or use the instant-read thermometer. Lamb shouldn't be more than 125-130° for rare.
