Lamb Chops w/Balsamic Reduction


Ready in 40min





INGREDIENTS





* 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary


* 1/8 teaspoon dried basil


* 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme


* salt and pepper to taste


* 2 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick)


* 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil


* 2 tablespoons minced shallots


* 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar


* 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons chicken broth


* 1-1/2 teaspoons butter





DIRECTIONS





1. In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.


2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.


3. Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Salsa


Prep: 20 min / Cook: 10 min





A pourable vinegar-based mint sauce is traditional with lamb; this update features a chunky mint salsa made with bell peppers, scallions, garlic, and the lemon.





2 cloves garlic, peeled


1/2 cup chopped fresh mint


1/4 cup diced red bell pepper


1 scallion, thinly sliced


1 tsp grated lemon zest


3 tbsp rice vinegar


1/2 tsp lemon juice


21/4 tsp sugar


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 tsp dried oregano


4 well-trimmed loin lamb chop (5 ounces each)





1. In a small pot of boiling water, cook the garlic for 2 minutes to blanch. Drain. When cool enough to handle, finely chop and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the mint, bell pepper, scallion, lemon zest, vinegar, lemon juice, 2 tsp of sugar, and 1/4 tsp of the salt; set aside.





2. In small bowl, combine the oregano, the remaining 1/4 tsp each sugar and salt. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the chops and let stand for 10 minutes.





3. Preheat the grill to medium (or preheat the broiler). Grill the chops 8 inches from the heat (or broil 6 inches from the heat) for 31/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve the chops with the mint salsa spooned on top. Serves 4.
