Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and garlic. Season with salt, to taste. Set aside.
- Set a 12-inch oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the black pepper. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil to the saute pan and place the lamb, fat side down, in the pan. Sear the lamb until the fat has rendered and the skin is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook the lamb, turning to cook evenly on each side, about 2 minutes each side. Baste them with the herb and oil mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the lamb is rare, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the lamb chops.
- Make the balsamic drizzle while the lamb is cooking: Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots to the pan and sweat until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and sweat for 30 seconds. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the rosemary and allow the balsamic to gently boil and reduce until only about 1/4 cup of balsamic remains, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from the heat and swirl the butter into the pan. Remove the rosemary sprigs before using.
- When the lamb is rare, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, slice each double chop in half, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.

RACHAEL RAY'S BROILED LAMB CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION
I made this tonight from "Thirty Minute Meals 2" by Rachael Ray. It's good! It makes a lot of sauce and it took a bit longer to reduce than then recipe indicates. I used minced garlic and dried rosemary and then I poured the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
- Season the chops liberally: Lamb chops benefit from a generous amount of seasoning. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful chops.
- Make sure the balsamic reduction is thick and syrupy: This will help it to coat the chops evenly and add a rich, complex flavor.
