Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lean rib lamb chops, about 6 ounces each, with most of the fat removed
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried
1 cup diced eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup diced zucchini, with skin on, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 1/2 cups fresh tomatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup pitted small black olives
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil or parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer. Add the chops and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn, sprinkle with the thyme, and cook about 5 minutes more for rare, longer for medium or well done. Remove to a warm platter and keep warm.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the eggplant and zucchini. Cook, stirring over high heat, until lightly wilted. Add the onions, garlic and cumin, and cook 2 minutes, stirring until wilted. Add the wine, tomatoes, bay leaf, olives and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, and simmer for 5 minutes, adding any juices that have accumulated on the platter around the lamb chops. Continue cooking for 1 minute.
  • Remove the bay leaf, sprinkle with the basil, and serve.
