Lamb Chops with Capers, Lemon, and Sage image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 rib or loin lamb chops, 1 inch thick, trimmed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
6 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

1 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Pat the chops dry. When the oil is hot, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, then place chops in the pan. Cook until the chops are browned, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chops and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate. 2 Pour the fat out of the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Stir the wine, the lemon juice, capers, and sage into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook 2 minutes or until slightly syrupy. 3 Return the chops to the pan and turn them once or twice until heated through and just pink when cut near the bone. Serve immediately.
