Lamb is not something I cook normally. I just happened of find the last remaining package of New Zealand Shoulder Lamb chops, at my local grocery store. For the price, I HAD to get it. Then I spent a few days researching about the best possible way to cook this cut of meat. Then, I started prepping the meat with seasoning..all the while singing “Scarborough Fair” lol. I let it marinade for about 4 hours and cooked those delicious chops. It was perfect! I served it with a side of Pureed Cannellini Beans and from Yogurt Biscuits.
Ingredients For Marinade:
5 shoulder cut lamb chops
1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic
1/2 tablespoon of thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon of rosemary
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Directions:
- Combine ingredients for marinade with lamb chops and allow it to marinade for at least 1 hour
- Preheat oven to 400F
- In a heavy skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Add lamb (do not crowd pan) and brown both sides (about 3 minutes each side)
- Place brown lamb in an oven safe baking dish and bake for about 6-10 minutes (depending on how done you want your chops)
- Transfer lamb to your serving platter, cover and rest for at least 5 minutes
That looks good specially when you use thebest lambs you can get, NZ lambs π
Yup! I can’t believe I found NZ Lamb chops at the local store π
I LOVE THIS RECIPE! Wonderful. I don’t normally eat lamb chops as much but I need to get me some. I usually eat pork chops alot. Wonderful recipe again Samina girl *HUGS*. Oh and the movie trailers I posted today.. “Jane Eyre” and “Bridesmaids” were the two trailers I thought you would love.
I saw the post π I am excited about the Jane Eyre movie! I think this recipe would go well with pork but the cooking times may be different. Pork is very lean π I will have to try it π
