Lamb Chops With Balsamic-Herb Glaze image

"Good things come in small packages" and that applies in a sense to recipes with very few ingredients. Original recipe specified rosemary but I leave it up to you to decide. Boiling the pan juices creates a delectable sweet-glossy glaze. Use a good quality balsamic vinegar, please! From Cooking Pleasures.

Time 25m

Yield 4 lamb chops

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 lbs lamb chops (approximately 4 1-inch thick chops)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced (or 1 tablespoon oregano, thyme, sage, marjoram, etc.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • Sprinkle lamb chops with salt, pepper and most of the fresh herb of choice. Heat a large, castiron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add the lamb chops, cook for 5 minutes then reduce heat to medium/low and cook other side of chops for another to 5-6 minutes. (This is for medium doneness-adjust cooking time accordingly.).
  • Transfer chops to serving plate. Tent with foil.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to skillet; bringing to boil.
  • Cook the sauce for approximately 1-2 minutes or until sauce thickens and reduces; scraping up the brown meat bits from bottom of skillet. Continue stirring until thickened.
  • Pour glaze over chops. Garnish with the remaining minced herb.
