How to make Grilled Lamb Chops with Porcini Mustard

Back to contents

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Soak mushrooms in boiling-hot water (475ml ) until softened, about 20 minutes. Lift mushrooms out of water and strain liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a small saucepan. Coarsely chop mushrooms.

Boil mushroom liquid in saucepan until reduced to about 60g , 13 to 15 minutes. Whisk in mustard, butter, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms. Transfer to a small bowl and cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley.

Meanwhile, pulse rosemary, kosher salt, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a food processor to form a coarse paste, scraping down sides. Rub oil all over chops, then coat evenly with rosemary mixture.

Oil grill rack, then grill chops in 2 batches, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, 4 to 6 minutes per batch for medium-rare.

Sprinkle porcini mustard with remaining tablespoon parsley and serve with lamb.
