Ingredients :
For the Coriander-Orange Butter
6 tbslp unsalted butter at room temperature.
3 tbslp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp grated orange zest
salt and freshly ground pepper
12 lamb chops about 3lb total weight, each 1 inch thick

2 tbslp of olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation :
To make the butter, in a small bowl using a fork, mash together
the butter, chopped cilantro, ground coriander, orange zest, and
salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Remove the Butter from the refirgerator. Place a piece of plastic wrap
on a work surface. Using a rubber spatula, mound the butter in center of
the plastic wrap. Drape on side of the plastic wrap over the butter and
then roll the butter into a tube shape about 1 inch diameter and 3 inches
long. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap in opposite directions, like a candy
wrapper, and refrigerate the butter until firm.
Preheat a broiler.
Brush the lamb chops on both sides with the olive oil and season to
taste with salt and pepper. Place on a broiler pan. Slip the pan under
the broiler about 4 inches from the heat source. Broil until browned
on the first side, about 5 minutes. Turn over the lamb chops and
continue to broil until browned on the second side and pink when cut in
the center, about 5 minutes longer.
