Lamb Chops With Beans Corn And Zucchini Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the lamb with 1/4 teaspoons each of the salt and pepper.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat and brown the chops.
• Transfer to a plate.
• Drain the fat from the pan and add the remaining oil.
• Cook the onion, garlic, rosemary and remaining salt and pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the beans and the broth and bring to a boil.
• Place the chops on top of the beans and bake in a 425 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

LAMB CHOPS WITH THYME HONEY AND WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• For the lamb:
• In a small pot over low heat, combine the honey and thyme and bring to a slow simmer. Cook the honey low and slow.
• Keep at a low simmer for 30 minutes then strain and season with salt, and pepper. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the garlic powder, fines herb, and parsley in a bowl and mix to combine. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Rub the outside of the lamb with the spices and place over a very hot grill, fat side down. Let the lamb sit for just 1 minute or until the fat chars a bit, turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a baking sheet and finish in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing the chops.
• For the beans:
• In a medium saute pan, over medium heat, cook the bacon until most of the fat has been cooked out. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt. When the carrots just start to soften, add the onions and stir to mix well. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, and then add the celery. Pour the wine and stock into the pan. Simmer until most of the liquid is gone. Turn the heat to high and add the beans and toss frequently to heat through. Add the butter and parsley and season with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• On each plate, make a bed of beans, then 2 lamb chops on top and drizzle the lamb with the warm honey mixture.

LAMB AND WHITE BEANS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium-high. Season lamb generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Place in skillet; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side (lamb will finish cooking in step 4). Transfer chops to a plate (keep oil in skillet); loosely cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.
• To skillet, add onion, garlic, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; cook until mixture is slightly thickened and saucy, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Place chops on top of beans in skillet (adding any juices that have accumulated on plate). Cover skillet, and simmer until meat is medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve chops with beans, and garnish with rosemary, if desired.

LAMB CHOPS WITH BEANS, CORN AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Generously season lamb chops with salt and pepper, garlic, rosemary and sage. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, gently pan-fry the chops in 1/4-inch olive oil, about 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned. For medium-rare, cook just until rising juices are visible on the surface of chops; for medium, cook for 2 minutes more. Remove chops and let rest on a warm platter.
• Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add zucchini and squash, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt. (This may be done up to several hours in advance.)
• To finish, raise heat to high. Add corn and beans and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup water, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture is soft and juicy. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with the scallions, parsley and lemon zest.
