Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 (3 ounce) lamb chops
  • ½ cup fresh unsweetened pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup port wine

Information

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 55 mins
  • Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins
  • Servings: 4
  • Yield: 8 lamb chops

  • Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the lamb chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Set aside to marinate.
  • 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 the 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.
