I recently had dinner with my neighbors and I really wanted to make something delicious. However I’m not the best of cooks, so when I do cook I look for easy recipes. I was on Food Network’s website and I found the perfect recipe to impress my neighbors, Lamb with Chianti Vinaigrette. Sounds like it’s hard to make doens’t it? It’s actually very easy and tastes amazing!

Lamb with Chianti Vinaigrette

* 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.
