Ingredients:
Yield: 3 servings
-
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 (3 oz) lamb chops
- 1/2 cup fresh unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 1 cup port wine
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Directions:
- Whisk together lemon zest and juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and black pepper in bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Bring the pomegranate juice and port wine to a simmer in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced to half of its original volume (about 45 minutes). Stir in the pomegranate seeds and set aside.
- Remove the lamb from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
- Cook the chops on the preheated grill until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Serve the chops drizzled with the pomegranate port reduction.
