Yield: 3 servings, 2 chops per person

Ingredients

• 6 lamb chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

Instructions

1. Heat the broiler. Season the lamb with the rosemary. Place the lamb on a broiler pan.
2. Broil for 10 minutes (for medium-rare) or to desired doneness, turning the lamb over once halfway through broiling.
3. Stir the stock and cornstarch in a 1 quart saucepan until the mixture is smooth.
4. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and mustard. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens.
