Photo: Lamb with Chianti Vinaigrette Recipe
I like the tanginess of the reduced wine with the lamb.
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.

This is so amazing! The only thing I do different is slow cook it in a crock pot. It works great with pork loins too. It is one of our favorite recipes. We follow it to a the letter....but we do double the sauce recipe to drizzle on top.

I marinated the lamb chops all afternoon in the red wine, EVOO, lemon zest, and salt & pepper. The grilled chops were properly grilled to medium rare, but did not have much flavor. The prepared wine sauce when reduced over heat as directed, did not mix well with the oil. The resulting sauce tasted oily and without flavor. I followed the recipe as written, but it was not a success for me. I won't make this again.
