Lamb Chops With Herbed Couscous And Tomatoes
8 lamb rib chops - (4 oz ea) frenched ,and
trimmed of all fat
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Juice of 1 lemon
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil cooking spray as needed
2 garlic cloves minced
3/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth plus
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary with extra sprigs
for garnish
1 cup quick-cooking couscous
1/2 pound Roma tomatoes seeded, and
finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
4 Servings
Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler. While the grill is heating, place the chops on a tray and sprinkle with garlic powder, lemon juice, and pepper. Just before grilling, spray with cooking spray. Cook to desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium.
Meanwhile, lightly coat a covered saute pot with cooking spray and saute the garlic until limp, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and water; bring to a boil. Stir in the rosemary and couscous. Add the tomatoes and cover. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Before serving fluff with a fork and add the parsley, lemon zest, and additional pepper to taste.
To serve, divide the couscous mixture between 4 serving plates. Cross 2 grilled chops atop each serving. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
To complete the plate, add a serving of fresh young green beans which you have cooked until just crisp; top them with chopped parsley and some lemon zest and your plate is complete.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
