- 4 (4-ounce) boneless lamb loin chops, trimmed of fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 leeks, rinsed and chopped

Arrange asparagus and potatoes on baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
Meanwhile, season lamb chops all over with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chops and sear 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove lamb from pan and set aside. Add leeks to the same pan and saute 3 minutes, until soft. Return lamb to pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together plum sauce, plum preserves and rosemary. Pour mixture over lamb chops. Simmer 5 minutes, until lamb is tender and medium-rare to medium.

maybe I shouldn't review this recipe seeing I didn't make the whole dish. I used bone in pork chops and sweet onion because I didn't feel like going to the store. Anyway, the sauce was absolutely wonderful and I will definitely make the whole dish with the lamb very soon. Very, very good.

This is a great dish for lamb. We seared the rack of lamb a little longer than the recipe called for and reduced the sauce with Balsamic Vinegar for about 15 minutes.
For the asparagus, we added a head of garlic and rosemary while roasting. We chopped the asparagus into thirds and let it marinate right out of the oven in the lemon dressing so the asparagus really soaked that flavor up.
For the plum sauce we substituted boysenberry preserves for plum preserves and added minced roasted garlic. Wonderful.....
