Ingredients
- 6 piece organic lamb loin or rib chops (about 600 g)
- 1 tsp sea salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp organic olive oil
- 20 g organic flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 piece organic lemon, finely zested
- 1 piece organic garlic clove, very finely chopped
- 2 piece organic little gem or small cos lettuces, halved
- 2 tbsp organic extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp organic lemon juice
Step-by-step method
- Mix the parsley, lemon zest and garlic on the board and chop together once more: that is the gremolata.
- Season the chops. Heat a griddle or heavy pan until very hot, brush the chops with oil and stand them fat-side down for 2 minutes to render the fat.
- Lay them flat and cook 2–3 minutes per side for pink (58 °C). Rest 5 minutes.
- Brush the cut side of the lettuce with olive oil and char in the same pan for 1–2 minutes until striped.
- Dress the lettuce with lemon juice, the rest of the oil and salt.
- Plate the chops on the lettuce and scatter generously with gremolata.
Chef’s tips
- Rendering the fat edge first gives crisp fat and a flavourful pan.
Variations
- Add a few chopped mint leaves to the gremolata.
- Grill on a barbecue in summer.
Storage
Gremolata is best fresh. Cooked chops keep 2 days.
