CRANBERRY GLAZED LAMB CHOPS
Simple but classy. Lamb draws in flavors from marinades very quickly, so this dish has a fairly quick prep time. Lamb is often paired with mashed or baked potatoes, and those will go well with this dish, but I often serve it with egg pasta (homemade tagliatoni when I'm going all out). A vinegarette-dressed salad is a good match as a vegetable course.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven broiler.
- 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.
- 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.

BALSAMIC GLAZED LAMB CHOPS
Steps:
- Balsamic Reduction In a medium saucepan, pour in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the vinegar has reduced by one third to one half and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Watch closely! If the vinegar and sugar cook too long it will caramelize and become solid. Remove from heat and pour in a small bowl. Let cool. Can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. Place the oven on broil. Place the lamb chops in a bowl or large ziploc bag. Place the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl with the chops and toss well to evenly coat the chops with the seasonings and oil. Spread the chops out evenly on a broiling pan, making sure that they are not touching each other. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven and broil the chops for about 5 minutes, or until the chops are a deep, golden brown on the side facing up. Remove the chops from the oven and turn each one over. Place them back in the oven and broil again for about 5 minutes or until the side facing up is the same golden brown as the underside. Remove from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chops. Plate the chops as desired and drizzle additional balsamic glaze over them as desired.

Steps:
- Combine rosemary , salt and pepper. Rub over both sides of lamb. Cook lamb in non-stick pan 5 min on each side. Remove from pan. Wipe pan clean with paper towel. Cook garlic in oil for 30 sec.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively fatty or have a dull color.
- Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. Yogurt, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon are common ingredients used in lamb chop marinades.
- Cook the lamb chops to the desired doneness: Lamb chops can be cooked to various degrees of doneness, from rare to well done. The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare lamb chops is 135°F (57°C), while medium lamb chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Rest the lamb chops before serving: After cooking, let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful eating experience.
- Pair the lamb chops with complementary sides: Lamb chops pair well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. You can also serve them with a flavorful sauce, such as a mint sauce or a red wine reduction.
Conclusion:
Glazed lamb chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create succulent and flavorful lamb chops that will impress your family and friends. Whether you choose to grill, pan-sear, or roast your lamb chops, be sure to marinate them beforehand and cook them to the desired doneness. With a little effort, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
