Grilled Lamb Chops And Spicy Lobster With Garden Puree Recipes

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, oil, garlic, thyme, ginger, pepper, and bay leaves together in a bowl.
• Place lamb chops in a large zip-top bag or resealable container. Cover with the marinade. Refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Wipe off marinade from the lamb chops.
• Cook lamb chops, covered, on the preheated grill until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip using grilling tongs; do not use a fork as it will let out all of the juices. Close the lid and continue to grill to medium doneness, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Be careful not to overcook.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH A BUTTERNUT SQUASH RING, COUSCOUS, ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• For the Lamb: Trim all fat from the lamb racks and cut each lamb rack into 4 pieces. Marinate the lamb in the olive oil, rosemary, and garlic for at least 1 day and up to 7 days, refrigerated. Remove the lamb from the marinade and remove all the rosemary and garlic sticking to the meat. Use 1 tablespoon of the spice rub to coat the racks. Grill the racks over high heat for 3 minutes on both sides. At this point lamb can be finished in a 400-degree oven in about 5 minutes for medium rare.
• For the Squash Rings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Peel the squash. Starting at the top of the squash cut horizontally through squash at 1-inch intervals until you have 4 pieces. Using a pastry ring cutter remove inside of each piece so that you have a ring. Place rings in a baking dish. In a bowl combine the butter, honey, 1 tablespoon of the spice rub, lemon juice, and lemon oil. Pour over the squash rings. Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes or until the rings are soft.
• For the Asparagus: In boiling water blanch asparagus for about 2 minutes or until al dente. Shock in an ice bath. Use the chives as string to tie bundles of 5 asparagus together. When ready to serve saute the bundles in butter just until warmed through.
• For the Couscous: In a small pot bring the vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon olive oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of the spice rub to a boil. Add couscous, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Couscous will be ready in about 5 minutes.
• For the Red Wine Sauce: Reduce all ingredients to a nice consistency and strain through a chinois.
• Serve the lamb with the Squash Rings, Asparagus, Couscous and Red Wine Sauce.
• For the Moroccan Spice Rub: Toast the coriander, cumin, fennel and grind in a spice grinder to a powder and add to the other spices. Mix well.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS AND SPICY LOBSTER WITH GARDEN PUREE

Steps:

• Make the Garden Puree: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas, asparagus tips, and green beans and cook until bright green and crisp tender, about 3 minutes. (If you're using frozen peas, you can throw them in during the last minute to thaw.) Drain, transfer to a bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Save a few pieces of each vegetable to use as garnish. Puree the cooled greens in a food processor while pouring in the olive oil. Add the ricotta and scallions and process again. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; set aside.
• For the lamb chops: Brush the lamb chops with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• For the lobster: In a small saucepan over low heat melt the butter with the tomato, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes to break down the tomato; set aside. Coat the lobster tails with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Grill them shell side down for about 5 minutes. Turn them over and spoon on some of the tomato butter; cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
• To serve: Spoon a generous mound of the Garden Puree onto a plate. Place a lamb chop on top of the Garden Puree and place a lobster tail next to that. Spoon some more tomato butter over the lobster. Garnish the lamb chop with the reserved vegetables and some mint leaves.
