Lamb rib chops with potatoes

This is a fancy lamb rib chop meal.  Delicious and succulent rib chops are always a hit even though they are petite.  Along with the rib are marinaded potatoes and grilled chicory.

Ingredients:
  • Lamb rib chops
  • white pepper
  • chopped garlic
  • balsamic vinegar
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh thyme
  • potatoes
  • dijon mustard
Directions:
  1. Make the lamb marinade first.  Combine the white pepper, chopped garlic, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, and 2/3 cup EVOO and some fresh thyme.
  2. Place the lamb chops in the marinade and refrigerate for a couple hours flipping every 1/2 hour.
  3. Now make the potato marinade.  Take about 1/4-1/2 cup of dijon mustard and to it add white pepper.  Add a little EVOO and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
  4. Start your grill with the coals in the center.  You will mostly be grilling on indirect but this gives you a good direct heat zone as well.
  5. First on the grill goes the potatoes, they will take the longest to finish.  Place them on the indirect part of the fire.  Flip them at 15-20 minutes.

  6. At the beginning of the 3rd flip of the potatoes, place the chicory on the grill after dousing them with olive oil.  Direct heat.  Also do onions the same way if you want.  3-4 minutes a side.  Then move them to the side.

  7. Now is the time for the lamb chops.  3-4 minutes a side on direct.  Then pull off and plate.
