LAMB CHOPS WITH WHITE WINE

Lamb Chops with White Wine image

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 loin or rib lamb chops, 1 inch thick, trimmed
4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
3 or 4 sprigs rosemary (2-inch)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

1 In a skillet large enough to hold the chops comfortably in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pat the chops dry. Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, then place them in the pan. Cook until the chops are browned, about 4 minutes. Scatter the garlic and rosemary around the meat. Using tongs, turn the chops and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate. 2 Add the wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, scraping up and blending in the browned bits in the bottom of the pan, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. 3 Return the chops to the pan and cook them 2 minutes more, turning them in the sauce once or twice until rosy pink when cut near the bone. Transfer the chops to a platter, pour the pan juices over the chops, and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
