Broil, grill, or pan fry these lamb chops, then take them to the next level with a savory olive-artichoke tapenade.

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops (loin, rib, sirloin, or shoulder)
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 med fennel bulb (1 cup), diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1 cup imported green and black olives, chopped
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, or medium skillet and over medium heat, cook garlic in oil until just golden brown around the edges.
  • Stir in fennel, olives, and artichoke; cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, rosemary, and oregano; continue cooking until mixture is just heated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook times will vary depending on thickness of chops. For 1-inch thick chops, broil, grill, or pan fry chops over medium heat for approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Spoon warmed tapenade over chops.
