Tuscan Lamb Chops country style
- 2 large New Zealand Lamb Rack's
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 12 clove of Garlic
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 jar Mint Jelly
- 1 bunch 3-4 stems of fresh herbs or dry herbs by the teaspoon, rosemary,thyme etc. herbs de Provence , Italian seasoning, can be your choice
- 1/2 tbsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- This is a great traditional rustic Lamb dish, it can be made in an Italian fireplace country style or prepared to be served in a 5 star restaurant, and is perfect for the American palate , New Zealand Lamb Racks are among the best you can get and the tastiest part of the Lamb, it's the only Lamb I recommend, Lamb Chops prepared this way are juicy, tender, and oh so good
- New Zealand Lamb Chops, 2 rack's will be about 28- 30 chops or "lollipops" ,1 rib bone is a lollipop, you can count the ribs to determine how many servings you get, 4-6 lollipops per person is average.
- Start by cutting the rack into chops 1 bone per chop, cut between the ribs.
- Prepare the marinade by putting in a bowl or plastic bag the Oil, salt & pepper, Garlic leave cloves whole, lemon wedge's or slices some juice can be squeezed in if you like, then the herbs of your choice I use rosemary and thyme most the time, you can marinate for an hour or overnight, remember to keep mixing.
- Once marinated remove the chops and save the marinade, using a grill or a cast iron with grill marks place the chops on the grill for about a minute per side to mark them, you can skip if you cant grill, place on a cookie sheet pour the extra marinade over the chops with the herbs, garlic and lemon, place in a 325 oven for 10 minutes it will become fragrant and bubbly, you can touch or cut into one to check for doneness you want a medium rare to a medium cook and the thicker ones could be pinker than the thin ones
- Place the lollipops on a warm platter drizzle with the pan drippings, garlic, lemon can garnish with cilantro or parsley and serve with a jar of mint jelly.
