Steps:
- 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 3 1/2 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.

LAMB CHOPS WITH RED WINE AND ROSEMARY SAUCE
This recipe for this dish is one that I received a while back, in one of my cooking classes on American Bistro. I have since changed and added some ingredients to suit my taste. It is a lovely dish, that is fairly quick, easy to make and very tasty. Most ingredients are ones you may have on hand. The sauce is a lovely compliment to the lamb. Served with a side of wild rice and a green salad or veggie, it is a perfect dinner.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE
Steps:
- In a skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chops, seasoned with salt and pepper, flattening them occasionally with a metal spatula, for 4 minutes on each side for medium meat. Transfer the chops with a slotted spatula to a small platter and keep them warm, covered loosely with foil.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and in the remaining fat cook the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until it is pale golden. Add the onion and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and the soy sauce and cook the mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, until the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated. Add the vinegar and boil the mixture until the liquid is evaporated. Add the wine and the thyme and boil the mixture until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Stir the cornstarch mixture, add it to the skillet, and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, spoon it over the chops, and sprinkle the chops with the parsley.
Tips:
- To select high-quality lamb chops, look for chops that are bright red in color with a firm texture. Avoid chops that are dull or have a slimy appearance.
- Before cooking, allow the lamb chops to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried rosemary.
- Sear the lamb chops in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned. Then, transfer the chops to a baking dish and finish cooking in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- While the lamb chops are cooking, make the balsamic red wine reduction. Simply simmer balsamic vinegar, red wine, sugar, and thyme in a saucepan until the mixture has reduced by half and thickened.
- Once the lamb chops and balsamic red wine reduction are finished, serve immediately. The lamb chops can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or rosemary.
Conclusion:
Lamb chops with balsamic red wine reduction is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb chops are juicy and flavorful, and the balsamic red wine reduction adds a rich and complex flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
