Time 4h23m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
⅔ cup red wine
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
12 leaves fresh basil, cut into ribbons and chopped
8 1-inch-thick loin lamb chops
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix tomato paste, red wine, olive oil, garlic, and basil in a small bowl to make the marinade.
  • Place lamb chops in a glass or ceramic container; paint both sides thoroughly with the marinade. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
  • Wipe most the marinade off the lamb, leaving a light coating. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Grill lamb until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
