Divine Lamb Chops

Hi all:

I wanted to make something outside my regular repertoire and decided to try lamb chops.  I have made them before, years ago, but I thought it was time to revisit these delectable morsels.  We all love Greek food in our house, so I decided to make them Greek style.

They are easy to throw together and taste wonderful. With a few simple ingredients, you too can make a dinner fit for a $50 price tag.

Here are the steps:

Rosie's Divine Lamb Chops

**********************************

1 package (about 8) small Australian lamb loin chops

Freshly cracked pepper

Freshly grated coarse sea salt (I used Mediterranean Sea Salt) 

2 large cloves garlic - crushed

Freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 lemon

Chopped fresh rosemary

Olive oil

Place the lamb chops in a deep glass dish and sprinkle the lamb chops on 1 side with the pepper, coarse salt, crushed garlic, chopped rosemary and olive oil. Squeeze the juice from about 1/4 to 1/2 of a fresh lemon onto the chops and let them sit to marinate for about 1 hour before cooking.

Sear the chops on both sides, in a heavy skillet. Sear until both sides are carmelized and then place them in an oven proof dish to finish in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 min. Lamb can get tough, so do not over cook these.

I also made my Greek style potatoes with the chops.  Simply wash about 6 medium potatoes (I used red potatoes) and cut into wedges.  Place on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with Johnny's Seasoning salt, drizzle olive oil on them and bake in the oven at 425 degrees for about 45 min. - 60 min.  These are a hit every time I make them.

Done and ........

Done.  Oh, and I made steamed cauliflower with this meal as well. Love it.

Parakalo!!!
