Lamb Chops In A Red Wine Olive Marinade - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup fresh rosemary, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons black olives, minced or 2 tablespoons tapenade
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup red wine
12 lamb loin chops, trimmed

Preparation

Blend rosemary, olive oil, garlic, tapenade or olives, pepper and wine in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Reserve 1/4 of the marinade and pour the remainder over the lamb chops.
Let the chops marinate in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
20 minutes before grilling, take chops from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
Preheat the grill to 450\u00b0F
Season chops with salt and pepper and sear on the grill for about 2 minutes per side.
Lower heat slightly and continue cooking, turning and basting with remaining marinade occasionally for another 5 to 10 minutes until the chops are done to your liking.
Remove from grill, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
