Ingredients:

  • pesto:
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • lamb:
  • 8 double-cut lamb rib chops (2 inches thick and 4 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan, bring pomegranate juice and vinegar to a boil over medium heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup.
  2. Meanwhile, for pesto, place the mint, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper in a small food processor; cover and pulse until chopped. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
  3. Coat chops with pesto. In a large ovenproof skillet, brown lamb in oil on all sides.
  4. Bake, uncovered, at 450° oven for 15-20 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Drizzle with pomegranate sauce. Yield: 8 servings.
