Lamb Chops

12 American Lamb loin chops
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, mashed
2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
Coarsely ground black pepper

  • Rub lamb with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice and black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate for 4 hours to marinate.

Marinated Colorado Potatoes

3/4 pound Colorado Russet potatoes, cut to 1/2-inch dice, leaving skin on
3/4 pound Colorado Purple Majesty potatoes, cut to 1/2-inch dice, leaving skin on
3/4 pound Colorado Yukon Gold potatoes, cut to 1/2-inch dice, leaving skin on
3/4 pound Colorado Mountain Rose potatoes, cut to 1/2-inch dice, leaving skin on
1 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, quartered
1 sprig rosemary, about 6 inches long
1 teaspoon chopped sage
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
2 teaspoons minced shallots
1/2 cup thinly sliced California dried mission figs
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

  • In an 8 x 1-inch oblong baking dish, combine potatoes, oil, garlic and rosemary sprig; roast at 250°F for 2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  • When potatoes are done, remove and discard the rosemary sprig and the garlic. Drain excess olive oil and discard. Gently combine sage, parsley, shallots, figs and sherry vinegar. For a more tangy flavor, add additional vinegar. Set aside.
  • Lightly salt and pepper the lamb chops to taste. Place on hot grill; cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness.
  • Spoon approximately 3/4 cup marinated potatoes onto serving plate and arrange lamb chops on top. Garnish with fresh herbs.

NOTE: To maintain the brilliant colors of the potatoes after dicing, submerge in cold water until ready to cook.
