Description
Lamb chops are delicious year-round, not just around springtime. These loin lamb chops are marinated in a delicious garlic-herb medley, then quickly grilled for a medium-rare finish. The shallot-date jam is amazing and can be served with lamb or chicken, and it’s super easy to make!

¼ cup olive oil
1 TBS whole grain mustard

Instructions
For the Chops
Mix oil, mustard, rosemary, and garlic blend, then pour over lamb chops and marinate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Remove chops from marinade, shaking off excess. Lightly season with Grillin’ shake. Place on a hot grill for 3-4 minutes, then turn 1/4 turn to get diamond grill marks. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Flip sides, and cook for 3-4 minutes, then turn 1/4 turn on the grill. Remove when lamb chop internal temp reaches
For the Shallot-Date Jam: Add olive oil to a small saucepan over very low heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes to allow them to caramelize. Add remaining ingredients and continue to cook until jam-like consistency forms, about another 20 minutes
Serve lamb chops with a generous teaspoon of jam on each one, with more jam on the side.
