Ingredients

For the tapanade aioli:

1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 anchovy fillets, drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons pitted nicoise olives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the lamb chops:

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary plus sprigs, for garnish
1/4 cup kosher salt
12 bone-in baby lamb chops, Frenched
2 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

For the tapanade aioli:

Directions

Combine the mayonnaise, zest, juice, anchovies and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the olives and salt and pepper and pulse a few times just to incorporate the olives, not puree them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Can be made 8 hours in advance and refrigerated.

For the lamb chops:

Combine the rosemary and salt in a food processor and process until combined.

Heat the grill to high.

Brush the chops on both sides with oil and season with a few teaspoons of the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place on the grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chops over and continue grilling to medium-rare doneness, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top each chop with a dollop of the aioli. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

BEST LAMB CHOPS EVER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I purchased double cut frenched lamb chops and made this for my boyfriend's very special birthday. He simply stated "These... are the best lamb chops I've ever had," and gave me a big kiss. The extra olive tapanade aioli is a wonderful condiment for steak sandwiches on ciabbata with arugula, as well. Thanks Bobby for such a great recipie!Read more
