Equipment

  • Grill
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small saucepan
  • Wooden or metal skewers (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 lamb chops - about 1 inch thick
  • 2 medium red onions - sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 2 cloves of garlic - minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper - to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh parsley - chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to high heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.
  • Add the lamb chops to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the chutney.
  • In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced red onions and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Remove the onions from the heat and let them cool. Once cooled, chop them into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl with the remaining marinade. Mix together to create the chutney.
  • If using skewers, thread the marinated lamb chops onto the skewers.
  • Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the grilled lamb chops with the charred red onion chutney on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

Baste the lamb chops with the marinade while grilling for added flavor.
For a spicier chutney, add a chopped jalapeno pepper or red chili flakes to the mixture.
Serve the grilled lamb chops with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
If you prefer a thicker chutney, add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the saucepan and cook until the mixture thickens.
