These are French lamb chops that I found in my freezer in Sens over the holidays. Yay!
Quick and easy, just sprinkle with dried herbs, brown, make a balsamic reduction and serve with bacon, sauteed chard.
Lamb Chops with Herbs and Balsamic Sauce
6 lamb chops
Salt and pepper
Dried oregano, basil and thyme
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 shallots, vertically sliced
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth
Sprinkle the lamb chops with salt, pepper and the herbs, then set aside for about 30 minutes. Melt the butter in the olive oil and brown the chops for about 3 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm. Add the shallots to the pan and saute until soft, then add the vinegar and reduce the liquid by half. Add the chicken broth and reduce the liquid by half again. Serve the sauce with the lamb chops and some sauteed chard.
What a brilliant combination.
Thank you David.
Lovely sauce and chops 😉
Thanks Mad.
Truly picture perfect lamb chops and the sauce sounds great with. I love the idea of the bacon with the chard. I have a lot of chard to cook and that sounds like a lovely combo.
I love chard and it went perfectly with the lamb and reduction 🙂
More great photos (and plates!).
That’s my new supermarket plate 🙂
This looks so rich and absolutely delicious! The end of my pescetarian January is in sight thankfully…
I’m totally enjoying your fish dishes. And the mackerel!
Oh yes, i love lamb – need any more be said, Rosemary?

This looks divine. Hoping to get my husband more into lamb this winter! I’ll have to give this a shot.
My husband didn’t like lamb when growing up but his mind has changed 🙂

I should never look at your posts when I am hungry – I am now ravenous! Beautiful pictures of amazing food.
Thank you Bassa. Woof, woof!
Great looking dish. I always cooked the whole rack but our recent experiment taught me cutting is grand too. Love the balsamic.
The rack is definitely nice. Now that I have a butcher, I’m thinking crown!
Thank you! I have lamb chops in the freezer and was looking for inspiration. I will be making this soon. 🙂
Go for it Virginia!
I mentioned it to my husband and he’s looking forward to it. 🙂
