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)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt, black pepper, and half the minced garlic.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or honey if desired.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
