Lamb Chops Cooking Tips
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers?
Start with fresh and quality American lamb, it makes a difference to your recipe! It also makes a huge difference to buy local and support local.
The marbling in the chops is great for tenderness, even if you trim some exterior fat off.
This recipe is super straight forward and requires no marinades or waiting time. So make sure once again you use superior lamb for it!
Make the Romesco sauce 2 days in advance to save some time and keep it in the fridge. To serve, simply reheat it in the microwave for 1 minute to reach room temperature.
Use a combo of oil and butter to cook the lamb chops. The flavour of butter is what makes it succulent and tasty. While the oil will ensure that the butter doesn’t burn.
A heavy duty cast iron is best to sear meats and lamb chops, or a stainless steel skillet.
Avoid flipping the chops too soon.
Add the aromatics of your choice, and make sure they’re whole. Avoid mincing or finely dicing, as they may burn before the chops have cooked.
The lamb chops cook in about 5-7 minutes total, depending on the thickness of the chops.
Basting the lamb chops with butter ensures it cooks evenly and minimizes flipping in the pan.
Depending on how well you want the chops to be, you should aim for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. This is the recommended temperature by the USDA.
The recipe is ready to serve and ENJOY!
Leftovers, if any, can be stored in air tight container separately. The lamb Chops should be stored separately from the sauce and any side dish. Leftovers make great sandwiches and wraps. They’re also great added over a salad or pasta dish.
To reheat leftovers, you can microwave the chops for 1 minute and a half. Or favorite way would be to wrap it in foil and reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-4 minutes.
