Best Recipe for Chinois Grilled Lamb Chops with Cilantro Mint Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup mirin (sweet sake)
- 1 tablespoon chopped ginger
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon dried red chile flakes
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 racks lamb (about 2 pounds each), trimmed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped ginger
- 1/4 cup each coarsely chopped mint, cilantro and parsley
- 1 cup peanut oil
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 egg yolk*
- Dash chili oil
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients. Pour them over the lamb and let it marinate for 1 hour. Remove from the marinade and let stand until ready to cook.
- While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vinaigrette.
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper and place it on a hot grill. Grill medium rare, about 15 to 20 minutes; or cut the rack into chops and saute them in a pan over high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. (Cook the chops in several batches, if necessary, but don't crowd the pan.)
- Make an island of the sauce on each plate. Place lamb chops on center. Decorate with cilantro or mint sprigs on top and serve with stir-fried vegetable or stir-fried rice.
- To make the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, and blend. Slowly add peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper and strain, if necessary, into a bowl.
- *RAW EGG WARNING
- Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
