Rosemary-Garlic Lamb Loin Chops
Ingredients
  • 1
    recipe Tomato-Balsamic Rice, recipe below (optional)
  • 4
    lamb loin chops, cut 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick (1-3/4 to 2 lb. total)
  • 1
    tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary
  • 3
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/2
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1
    tablespoon olive oil
  • 2
    cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1
    teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Rosemary sprigs (optional)
Directions

1. Prepare Tomato-Balsamic Rice. Meanwhile, arrange oven rack so that the top of the chop surface is 4 to 5 inches from the heat when placed on a broiler pan. Make sure to account for the height of broiler pan and chops. Preheat broiler.

2. Coat the top of broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Rub both sides of the chops with half of each of the the snipped rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Broil chops for 18 to 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in chops registers 145 degrees F (medium-rare doneness), turning occasionally to brown evenly.

3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes and remaining half of the snipped rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes just begin to soften. Stir in vinegar.

4. Serve chops with tomatoes, and Tomato-Balsamic Rice. Top with rosemary sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
