Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops

This marinade has enough flavor that even a short marinade will suffice. This is my go-to lamb recipe for mid-week meals. If you have Pomegranate Molasses), a slight drizzle over the chops will make them truly extraordinary.
Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

8 lamb loin chops, 1-inch thick (2 per person)

marinade
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

optional garnish
2 tablespoons Pomegranate Molasses
4 rosemary sprigs

1 In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Toss lamb chops with marinade and allow to marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.

2 Prepare hot grill.

3 Remove chops from marinade, allowing excess olive oil to drip off, unless you wish to control grill flare-ups.

4 Grill for 5 minutes on the first side, then turn and grill 2 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare.

5 Remove to platter. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses if you have it. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.
