Balsamic--Herb Lamb Chops

[fenderbelly]

I've done this dish twice now, you will not believe how tasty and moist the chops are.
I didn't use the rosemary and used fresh oregano as i have that growing in the garden.

I adjusted the ingredients to suit the number of chops and I grilled for 4 minutes each side

This is a quick way to make delicious lamb chops. The combination of flavors will make those who don't like lamb come back for more.

A simple version runs like this but for loin, forequarter or leg chops:

marinate chops for an hour or so in lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and pepper.

If you can be bothered mush some fresh rosemary in the olive oil first then remove the bigger pieces as it doesn't cook well.

The lemon juice starts the 'cooking' process cos of the acid in it so an hour is all you want.

Fry the chops. You can add the marinade if you like when you turn the chops over but make sure it cooks cos it'll have some lamb 'juice' in it.

Apologies people, It was only when i read erns reply that i realised i had used loin chops and not rib chops, not much difference i suppose. Or is there.

Yes as it happens; loins usually much thicker. Rib chops take relatively little time to cook.
