Rainy day lamb chop cook.

Here's my entry...

I cooked lamb chops a couple of different ways. First I cold smoked the whole racks for a couple hours. Then I cut them into individual chops. One set of chops was seared to a finish on a grilltop plancha. The other set I crusted in parmesan and breadcrumbs and pan fried them to a delicious crisp. Check out the full cook thread for all the pron:

Here are the seared chops searing:

It's been a while since I've entered a throw down, but the lure of lamb drew me in :-D

Garlic and Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with Grilled Garlic-infused Baby Zucchini and Roasted Red Pepper Coulis and Mint Chimichurri

I rubbed the lamb rack with olive oil, garlic and some of the last of the fresh rosemary and thyme from our garden and grilled it to 125 internal and let it rest. I also took some baby zucchini, poked a bunch of holes in it with a toothpick and put it into a zipper bag with garlic infused olive oil (olive oil with finely chopped garlic heated slowly and then cooled) and grilled that. The roasted red pepper coil is was a red bell pepper that was blackened on the grill and then the skin removed. The pepper was then put into a food processor with garlic, salt and some chicken stock and then forced through a strainer.

Please us this as my entry picture
 
My first entry and attempt at lamb shanks. Used Oakridge Venison & Wild Game rub (pairs with lamb especially well). Smoked at 250 till they reached about 190 internal. They were still a bit tough and will try smoking and then braising next time. Still it brings out the inner carnivore eating meat off a bone. Please use this as my entry photo.
