LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION
This recipe for lamb chops is a favorite in my house. It is an easy and quick recipe for two people (we eat two chops each). Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. If you double the recipe, remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.

- In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color.
- Marinate the lamb chops before cooking: This helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, herbs, and spices, or try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or citrus juice.
- Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and create a nice crust, while leaving the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.
Conclusion:
Good Thyme Lamb Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can create perfectly cooked lamb chops that are sure to impress your family and friends. Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
