Contributed by Healthy Recipes For Diabetic Friends Y-Group
* Makes 4 servings
== Ingredients ==
* ¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
* ¼ teaspoon dried basil
* ½ teaspoon dried thyme
* salt and pepper to taste
* 4 lamb chops (¾ inch thick)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* ¼ cup minced shallots
* ⅓ cup aged balsamic vinegar
* ¾ cup chicken broth
* 1 tablespoon butter
== Directions ==
# In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper.
# Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides.
# Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
# Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
# Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3½ minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness.
# Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.
# Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned.
# Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth.
# Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half.
# If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good.
# Remove from heat, and stir in the butter.
# Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.
