Gorgonzola Crusted Grilled Lamb Chops Recipes

GRILLED-LAMB CHOPS OVER CARROT GORGONZOLA SMASH

Steps:

• 1. Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add lamb chops and toss to coat. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• 2. While lamb marinates, make the smash. Boil carrots in hot, salted water for 20-25 minutes or until very soft. Drain and return to pot. Mash in remaining olive oil and gorgonzola. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Smash using the back of a fork until very creamy with few chunks.
• 3. When lamb has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator, uncover, and bring to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• 4. Heat a grill pan or regular grill to high heat. Grill lamb chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness. To serve, spoon a bit of the carrot smash onto a plate and top each pile of smash with a lamb chop. Garnish with more parsley if desired.
