Time 2h2m

Yield 6-7 lamb loin chops, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 -7 lamb loin chops (i.e., one Costco package)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
3 -6 sprigs of fresh mint (mine were very large and I used 3)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Throw everything in a baggy or tupperware container to marinate for a couple of hours REFRIGERATED.
Pour the marinade into a sauce pan and heat well.
In a large covered skillet,fry half of the chops on one side until browned, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat with the other chops.
Return all of the chops to the skillet browned side up and fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the simmered marinade, cover, reduce heat to low and allow flavors and aroma to permeate the meat until cooked to desired doneness; lamb usually does better when still slightly pink in the center and still juicy. (We don't do rare meat around here -- nasty cootie attack 15 years ago).
Classified under inexpensive as one chop can easily be a portion, and package of 7 was around $15.00 U.S. While it was easy as a dish can be, it would work quite nicely for a breaking-out-the-good-china dinner. Just dress up the serving platter with a little fresh mint and rosemary.
Cooking time includes marinating time.
