Mediterranean Lamb Chops

I don't think I've ever met a lamb I didn't love. And I hope this recipe will find your own heart all a flutter.

Marinade (yield: enough for 4 chops)
1/8tsp salt and pepper
4 tbsp olive brine
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp rosemary

• marinate chops for 1 hour turning twice to ensure even marination.
• grill chops until medium rare- aprox 4 minutes a side depending on the thickness.
  
• top with grilled red peppers and red onions with sliced kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
  

Lamb Sausages and Broccoli Salad

VOILA!

1. Fry up the lamb links until done. Don't clean the pan.
2. Immediately add the other half of the onion, sliced, and let them cook in the drippings for a minute or so.
3. Add a good shot of red wine to deglaze the pan.
4. Serve the 2 on a bun with a roasted red pepper glaze (RRpepper sauce***, dijon mustard, mustard powder and honey.)
   

Is Nice!

* the thinner shaved the onion, the sweeter.
** I would have rather used plum vinegar but I did not have any.
***You can buy it prepared or make your own. Today I used Ajvar. I keep it on hand for lots of things. Makes a great sandwich spread.
