- 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi White Wine Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Safeway SELECT Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 8 lamb rib chops (each about 3/4 in. thick)
- 2 tablespoons melted Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
- Mint Aioli ( see recipe )
- Salt
- In a shallow bowl, mix together vinegar, mustard, garlic, and pepper. In another bowl, stir together bread crumbs, cheese, and mint.
- Trim excess fat from lamb and discard. Rinse chops and pat dry. One at a time, turn chops in vinegar mixture to coat well; lift out and press firmly in bread crumb mixture, turning to coat all sides. Place chops slightly apart in a lightly oiled 10- by 15-inch pan; drizzle evenly with butter.
- Bake in a 500 degrees F oven until coating is browned and meat is medium-rare (pink) in center of thickest part (cut to test), 10 to 14 minutes. Turn once after 5 minutes. Serve with Mint Aioli and season to taste with salt.
