Cranberry Glazed Lamb Chops

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 lamb chops (or 8 small chops)
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 if the chops are particularly thick, place each one between two layers of plastic wrap and gently flatten them using the heel of your hand or a wooden mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
• 2 combine the cranberry relish, rosemary and vinegar (it sometimes helps to warm the cranberry relish a bit in the microwave or a small saucepan). put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
• 3 toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
• 4 preheat oven broiler.
• 5 when the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
• 6 position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.
