Lamb Chops with Smoked Chile Glaze and Warm Fava Beans
- 8 double-rib lamb chops (about 2 pounds total), frenched
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds fava bean pods, shelled (3 cups beans)
- Smoked Chile Glaze (page 247)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Heat your grill to medium.
- Use a lightly oiled kitchen towel to carefully grease the grill grate.
- Let the lamb chops stand at room temperature for 5 minutes while the grill heats.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and salt it.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
- Add the fava beans to the boiling water and cook just until the water returns to a full boil, about 2 minutes.
- Drain the favas and immediately transfer to the ice water.
- When cool, drain again, then peel the thin skins off the beans.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the chile glaze into a small dish.
- Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper, then brush both sides of each chop with a thin layer of the 1/4 cup glaze.
- Grill, covered, for 15 minutes for medium-rare, turning and brushing with a thin layer of glaze every 5 minutes.
- Transfer to serving plates and let rest while preparing the favas.
- Combine the peeled fava beans, the oil, and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring, until warm, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the favas among the serving plates and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
