A picture speaks a thousand words.....and this one says, "Delicious"
 
 
Lamb Chops with Fig Balsamic Reduction



4 lamb chops (3/4" thick)
1 T. Joe and Son's Arbequina EVOO (or other mild EVOO)
1/4 cup thinly sliced onions
1/3 cup Joe and Son's Fig Balsamic Vinegar

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare or continue to cook to your desired doneness.
 
Remove from the skillet and keep warm on a serving platter. Add onions to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes until browned.
