Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb loin chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoons capers (drained and minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the lamb loin chops dry with a paper towel and rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside while the grill heats.
In a mixing bowl, prepare the Cafe De Paris butter by combining softened unsalted butter with minced shallot, capers, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, tarragon, parsley, paprika, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix the butter mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a log, and refrigerate until firm (about 20 minutes).
Place the lamb loin chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the chilled Cafe De Paris butter into coin-sized rounds.
Plate the grilled lamb loin chops and top each chop with a slice of Cafe De Paris butter. Allow the butter to melt slightly before serving.
Serve alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
