- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄2 clove garlic, chopped
- 8 lamb loin chops (1/2 inch thick)

- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
directions
- Mix marinade ingredients together, add chops and let marinate for at least 2 hours.
- Mix all sauce ingredients together well.
- Preheat broiler to 500°F.
- Remove chops from marinade, and dip them into the sauce mixture.
- Broil the chops for about 7-10 minutes.
- Dip chops into sauce mixture again, and broil the chops on the other side for about 7-10 more minutes, or until done.
- While the second side of the chops are broiling, heat the remaining sauce until it simmers.
- Simmer sauce for about 1 minute.
- Serve chops with additional sauce* if desired.
- *Note: If you would like additional sauce to serve on the side with the chops, make a second batch of the "sauce," thinning it a bit with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water to prevent scorching when heated.

these were soooo yummy! i didn't have anchovies, so i had to skip that part, so i don't know how different it would've tasted (maybe someone who's tried both ways can tell me). also, my hand wandered by the cumin bottle when i went to get the oregano and i loooove cumin, so i threw in about an equal amount of that too. i had 6 little loin chops, but even doubling the marinade, i needed to add a little more oil to get it to coat the chops and doubling the sauce just BARELY was enough to coat them for the broiler. so i didn't get any sauce. :( so i made the herbed yogurt from the lamb chop recipe #173480 and that was nice (although i halved the herbs it called for--too many flavors going on). i liked the yogurt, my husband and 2 year old didn't. served it with couscous and green beans. awesome! oh yeah, and took a cue from lamb chop recipe #100761--broiled 6" below heating elemnent for 8 mins. each side--PERFECT doneness between medium and medium rare!

Dee suggested I try this recipe after I complained about bland food. Well, you could NEVER say this was bland! It's a wonderful recipe which is sure to become a family favourite. I did make some very minor changes. I doubled the amount of garlic and oregano in the sauce and marinade. I halved the amount of pepper and omitted the salt altogether. I was a bit concerned about saltiness, so I used only 3 anchovies per batch of 'sauce'. Because I wanted 'real' sauce to pour over the chops, I made an extra batch which I added to a small frypan with a little cream and water and boiled rapidly until reduced to a 'sauce' consistency. Next time I might use dry white wine instead of water. The anchovies provided more than enough salt for our taste. I used dijon mustard which worked well. Thanks Dee for a great recipe!
