Grilled Lamb Chops With Tapenade Butter Recipes

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH TAPENADE

Steps:

• Combine the Nicoise olives, green olives, parsley leaves, olive oil, capers, anchovy fillets and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and the mixture is tight. Set aside.
• Combine the lamb chops and half of the tapenade in a large bowl (reserve the remaining tapenade for garnish). Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grates.
• Add the lamb to the grill and turn up the heat slightly. Grill the lamb on each side for around 3 minutes for medium-rare, with an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F. Serve with the reserved tapenade and a wedge of lemon.

TAPENADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix unsalted butter, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, anchovy fillets, and capers in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer tapenade butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form tapenade butter into 1-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around log. Chill tapenade butter until cold. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Cut log crosswise into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick slices.

Steps:

• Remove lamb from the marinade and leave any onions on that stick to the meat. Discard any remaining marinade. Wrap the exposed ends of the bones with aluminum foil to keep them from burning. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. The chops may also be broiled in the oven about 5 minutes per side for medium.

• 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.

Be careful not to overcook.
