Lamb Chops With Anise

Recipe Ingredients

6		Lamb rib chops - excess fat trimmed
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried thyme
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
3 tablespoons	45ml	Unsalted butter - divided
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Minced garlic or garlic puree
1 teaspoon	5ml	Anise seeds
2 tablespoons	30ml	Balsamic vinegar
1		Sugar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Water
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Season both sides of lamb chops with salt and pepper. Press thyme into chops. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12-inch skillet. Sear chops for a minute on each side.

Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how well you like your chops done. Turn the chops occasionally while they cook. Remove them to a plate and set aside; discard almost all of the fat.

Add to the skillet the garlic, anise seeds, balsamic vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Scrape up juices and reduce until syrupy. Off heat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and season to taste with salt and pepper; spoon over chops.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
