| Delicious, Flavorful & Perfectly cooked Lamb Chops |
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
8 lamb loin chops (1 inch thick and about 6 ounces each)
Method:
Saute the onion in 1 teaspoon of oil, in a small saucepan, just until tender. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced to 1/4 of a cup. Stir in the butter and remove from the heat. Set aside, cover and keep warm.
Combine the herbs and spices. (I used a small mortar & pestle.) Coat both sides of each lamb chop with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the oiled chops. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Place the lamb chops in a large skillet, over medium heat. Cook each side, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until they reach the level of doneness that you prefer. (If desired, use a meat thermometer: medium rare = 135*, medium = 140*, medium well = 145*) Drizzle one tablespoon of the wine sauce over each serving. Makes 4 servings.

Notes:
Even though the red wine drizzle is optional, it does add that little gourmet touch to this dish.
Roasted asparagus and tomatoes pair nicely with this dish and so would mashed cauliflower or turnips.

I served this meal to my husband and godparents ~ we all loved it!
