Rib Of The Week Garlic Rosemary Lamb Lollipop Chops Recipes

LAMB LOLLIPOPS WITH GARLIC & ROSEMARY RECIPE

Steps:

• Season each side of lamb liberally with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle a little rosemary onto each side of the lamb lollipops, pressing down so it sticks.
• heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add garlic and sprig of rosemary into the skillet and spread evenly (about 2 tablespoons of rosemary removed from stem). Add the lamb and sear 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Garnish lamb with fresh rosemary if desired and serve immediately.

LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Check for doneness: At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough. If you would like your chops more cooked, you can put them in a 400°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or keep them in the hot pan, lower the heat to warm, and cover the pan for a few minutes. Note that rib chops are so small, and cook so quickly, checking for internal temperature with a thermometer can be impractical. For this reason I use the finger test to check the doneness of the chops. That said, if you have an instant read thermometer and want to check thick chops, aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F medium-rare, and 140°F for medium.
• Rest the chops: When done, remove the chops from the pan, cover with foil and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

• 2. Preheat broiler. Watching closely, broil lamb 4 to 5 inches from heat source until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer 3 chops to each plate and serve.
