Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt, black pepper, and half the minced garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add the rest of the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 3 minutes until the blueberries begin to break down.
Pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Increase the heat slightly and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
Return the lamb chops to the skillet. Spoon some of the blueberry sauce over the chops. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the lamb cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or honey if desired.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes. Transfer the lamb to serving plates and drizzle with the blueberry sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
