Ingredients
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1/2 cup coconut milk
Juice and zest of 1 lime, plus lime wedges for serving
12 lamb loin chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Arugula, Fennel and Citrus Salad, recipe follows
Arugula, Fennel and Citrus Salad:
4 cups loosely packed arugula
3 tablespoons chopped, toasted walnuts
1 orange, peel cut away from the flesh and the segments cut free from their membranes, plus the juice squeezed from the hull
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fronds for garnish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk the curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice and zest. Add the lamb chops to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Bring to room temperature for 20 minutes, then remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Generously sprinkle on each side with the kosher salt and pepper.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Grill the lamb chops until slightly charred on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more for medium doneness. Remove to a platter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Garnish with the lime wedges and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the Salad.
Arugula, Fennel and Citrus Salad:
- Toss the arugula, walnuts, orange segments, pomegranate seeds, red onion, sliced fennel and half the fennel fronds together in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the reserved orange juice and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Stream in the oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the salad with the dressing and season with salt. Garnish with the remaining fennel fronds and serve immediately.
