Freshly prepared Pomegranate Glazed Lamb Chops on white plate

Tender lamb chops glazed with a sweet and tangy pomegranate sauce, perfect for an elegant dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the lamb chops with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Brush the lamb chops with olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, brush the lamb chops with the pomegranate glaze.
  6. Remove chops from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve lamb chops drizzled with extra pomegranate glaze, garnished with pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprigs.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the lamb chops in some pomegranate juice and garlic for 1-2 hours before cooking.
