Ingredients

1 tablespoon onion chopped fine
8 small dried apricot halves
2 double rib (or loin) lamb chops with a pocket cut between the bones, completely trimmed of fat
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil. Preheat the broiler.
Combine the chopped onion with the apricots. Divide in half, and stuff each chop with mixture.

Place the broiler pan 2 or 3 inches from the source of heat, and broil the chops for about 7 minutes per side until crusty but still pink.
