Grilled Lamb Chops with Asparagus

Categories Recipes5 Comments on Grilled Lamb Chops with Asparagus

It’s summer time so any excuse to start grilling I am in. My mom picked up these Lamb Chops at Aldi’s and of course it was my job to find out what we were doing with them. So I found this super easy marinade by Jessica Gavin for the Lamb, grabbed some asapargus & I got grilling.

Ingredients

  • Lamb Chops
  • Salt + Pepper
  • 2 TBSP Minced Garlic
  • 2 TSP Chopped Rosemary
  • 2 TSP Chopped Thyme
  • 1/2 TSP Chopped Parsley
  • 1/4 Cup Olive oil, + extra
  • Asparagus

Let’s Get Cooking

In a small bowl combine the 1/4 cup Olive oil + parsley + rosemary + thyme + 1 TBSP Garlic + salt + pepper. Mix to combine

Pour the marinade over the lamb chops and let sit for about 30 minutes.

Cut the ends off the asparagus and place on aluminum foil. Season with salt + pepper + 1 TBSP minced Garlic. Wrap the aluminum around the asparagus until it is completely covered.

Heat up the grill, & place the asparagus off to the side. Place the lamb chops on the hot grill. I only eat my meats rare to medium rare, if you eat your meats well done I have some questions for you. But anyways for med-rare you are going to do about 6 min each side. The time will also depend on the thickness of your cut.

Once the meat is done, remove from heat and let rest a little before serving. This allows the meat to soak up all the juices. Cook your asparagus to your desired doneness as well, I like it to still have a bit of a bite so I cooked it for about 10 minutes.

Hope you enjoy breaking out the grill, I know I can’t wait to see what I can create on the grill.

Made with Love,

Indian cuisine may just be one of my favorites. All the spices and aromatics, the fluffy basmati rice and naan, omg. I crave it all the time, but it can be daunting to make at home with a limited spice cabinet. A few spices can go a long way so I suggest investing in them! I got this recipe from Krumpli.co.uk, check them out! A kitchen scale, if you have one, is super helpful for this recipe!

Ingredients

  • 14 oz/400 g Lamb
  • 3.25 fl oz/ 100ml Natural Yogurt (I used Greek Yogurt)
  • 30 g / 1 oz Ginger
  • 30 g / 1 oz Garlic
  • 1 Star Anise
  • 6 Green Cardamom Pods
  • 4 Cloves
  • 1 TSP Black Pepper Corns
  • 2 TBSP Cooking Oil
  • 150 g Onion, diced
  • 1/2 TSP Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 TSP Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 TSP Chili Powder
  • 1 TSP Ground Coriander
  • 1 TSP Ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 2 TBSP Tomato Puree

Let’s Get Cooking

Cut the lamb into small cubes and place into a bowl. Add in the yogurt, and allow the lamb to marinate for about 8 hours, maximum 24 hours.

A couple hours before the lamb is ready to cook, blitz together garlic + ginger + a little water to make a paste. Mix half of this paste, in with the lamb and yogurt and let it marinate.

When you are almost ready to cook, prep the onions, dicing them.

In a dry pan add cardamom pods + black peppercorns + cloves + star anise. Toast the spices on med-high heat for about 3-4 minutes

Once the spices are toasted, grind them in a mortar and pestle, or a coffee grinder

Using the same pan, reduce the heat and add cooking oil. Once the oil is warm add in the ground up spice mix and let cook for about 30 seconds.

Add in the onions + ground cumin + ground cinnamon + remaining garlic/ginger paste. Cook until golden brown, about 10-15 min

Add in the lamb and yogurt marinate along with chili powder + turmeric + ground coriander + salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, moving the lamb around the pan.

10 minutes in add the tomato puree and about 75 ml of water and stir

Reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 25 minutes.

Serve with basmati rice and naan!
