I don't cook a lot of lamb so when I went looking for a recipe and cooking method, I found a recipe from Derrick Riches and a tasty looking post by brother Moose a few months ago and decided to combine the two.
I picked up these natural lamb loin chops (imported from New Zealand):
and got together these ingredients (lemon & garlic not shown - I didn't have a lemon and was too lazy to run out for one and garlic was used but missed the pic):
let them marinate for 5-6 hours:
then fired up the Mini Egg with a couple of pieces of Green Leaf's wine infused oak for a little smoke:
got them Egg temp set at 300 and put the chops on:
flipped them once:
then pulled them off for a brief rest to open up the Egg for a searing temp (the Mini gets to searing temp really quick! - a little past where I was aiming for here):
then seared them on each side and included the bone side (ala Moose):
pulled them off when they ranged from medium (thinnest ones) to medium-rare:
and plated with some green beans and rice*:
*Lazy man's disclaimer - my wife normally handles the veggies and sides but was too busy. I had time to cook these but took the lazy man's way out and used canned green beans and leftover rice. :icon_blush: Good thing they're all fuzzy in the pic. I mentioned on the 2nd pic that I was lazy!
The lamb was delicious and something I need to cook more often!
