Ingredients

• 8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Place the grapes on a baking sheet and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
5. Roast the grapes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are slightly shriveled and caramelized.
6. While the grapes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
7. Once the grapes are done, arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter and top with the roasted grapes.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
