This what we had for our family dinner and I made grilled vegetables too. I also cooked mushroom soup and fruits for our dessert. =)
Lamb with Chianti Vinaigrette
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Ingredients
* 4 to 6 lamb rib or loin chops
* 2 cups Chianti (or other red wine)
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
Directions
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Grill until caramel-colored grill marks appear, and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 125 degrees F. for medium-rare, about 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Meanwhile, place the wine in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil gently until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Whisk in the honey until dissolved. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Serve the lamb chops on a platter with a serving bowl of the Chianti vinaigrette alongside for drizzling over the meat.
I like the tanginess of the reduced wine with the lamb.
