After trying the center cut lamb loin chops at Seasons 52 twice, I decided to make my own version. It was the first time eating that cut of lamb, and I was blown away. Not only was it not so gamy, the tenderness of the meat left me craving for more. After all, those were tiny little cuts... D would know since we had to split three chops last time (I'm on this god awful diet..)!
Made this for a post Valentine dinner. I seasoned the chops generously with salt and pepper and seared it high heat then moved it to the oven. I made a balsamic, wine with shallot reduction to go with the chops. The vinegar helped cut down the slight gaminess from the lamb. It was truly scrumptious and easy for a date night meal. A nice change from your usual beef tenderloin.
