Preparation

Step 1

Combine the rosemary, salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; rub over lamb chops. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chops over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.
Add garlic to the pan; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, preserves, vinegar and remaining pepper; cook for 2-4 minutes or until thickened. Return chops to the pan; turn to coat. Sprinkle with additional dried rosemary if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
