My parents raised sheep for more than 30 years, so I have several lamb recipes. Not only are these chops tender, but they cook quickly. While the lamb broils, I saute zucchini and red pepper to accompany it. People always comment on this great combination. —Ruth Lee, Troy, Ontario

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 lamb loin chops (1 inch thick and 3 ounces each)
1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, mustard, vinegar, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside 1 tablespoon. Place the lamb chops on a broiler pan. Spread remaining mustard mixture over both sides of chops. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the red pepper, zucchini and onion in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Stir in reserved mustard mixture; toss to coat. Serve with lamb chops.
