4 Levels of Lamb Chops: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Emily, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Frank Proto from The Institute of Culinary Education - to make us their best lamb chops. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices they made along the way - both good and bad. Which of these lamb chops would you serve to your esteemed guests?

Roasted Lamb Rack (Rosemary Garlic Marinade)
This is a terrific classic Rack of Lamb recipe that makes the most of this premium cut of meat. An assertive rosemary garlic lamb rack marinade injects flavour before roasting in the oven, then it's served with a Salsa Verde which is an excellent sauce with lamb. Plus, the vibrant green colour looks so good!

Roast Lamb with mint sauce #shortvideo
Recipe
Ingredients
- leg of lamb
- lamb marinade (recipe below)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 yellow onion, sliced thin
- 1kg baby potatoes
- 1 bunch Dutch carrots
- 500g green beans
- mint sauce (recipe below)
Method
1. Add the sliced onions to the bottom of an oven-safe dish.
2. Place the lamb on top and score with a sharp knife and cover in the marinade.
3. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt then pour around the lamb.
4. Place the lamb and potatoes into a 180c oven for 25 min per 500g, but use this as a guide.
5. Use a probe to check the internal temp after about 45 minutes, for lamb cooked medium (I'm not a huge fan of rare lamb) you want to pull it out around 55c (it will continue to cook a few more degrees) and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
6. At the 45 minute mark, it's a good time to check your potatoes, they will probably not take as long as the lamb. When they are ready, remove and set aside. You can flash them at the end so they are hot when you are ready to serve.
7. While your lamb is resting, add the carrots to the pan and put them in the oven. After 10 minutes, add the green beans and the potatoes if they need reheating.
8. When ready to serve, slice the lamb and serve it with the veg and mint sauce. Happy days!
Lamb marinade
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 large sprigs rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mustard powder

Method
1. Blend everything in a mortar and pestle.
Mint sauce
- 1 bunch of picked mint leaves

Method
1. Blend the mint, vinegar, salt, sugar and water together.
2. Once blended, add the xanthan gum while the blender is still going.
3. Store in the fridge until you are ready to use.
