Recording from memory, as my wife said I HAVE to make these for her Mom when she comes to town next month. I never measure or write down ingredients, and am suffering from memory almost full ! So, here goes Ingredients:
6 -7 lamb loin chops (i.e., one costco package) |
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped |
3 -6 sprigs fresh mint (mine were very large and i used 3) |
1 tablespoon chopped garlic |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Throw everything in a baggy or tupperware container to marinate for a couple of hours REFRIGERATED.
2. Pour the marinade into a sauce pan and heat well.
3. In a large covered skillet,fry half of the chops on one side until browned, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat with the other chops.
4. Return all of the chops to the skillet browned side up and fry for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the simmered marinade, cover, reduce heat to low and allow flavors and aroma to permeate the meat until cooked to desired doneness; lamb usually does better when still slightly pink in the center and still juicy. (We don't do rare meat around here - nasty cootie attack 15 years ago).
6. Classified under inexpensive as one chop can easily be a portion, and package of 7 was around $15.00 U.S. While it was easy as a dish can be, it would work quite nicely for a breaking-out-the-good-china dinner. Just dress up the serving platter with a little fresh mint and rosemary.
7. Cooking time includes marinating time.
