Grilled Lamb Chops in Pomegranate Marinated

Submitted by Rita1652

"I use Cortas Pomegranate juice which is very thick like molasses but no sugar is added in the cooking of it. It's just concentrated Pomegranate juice. I purchased it in a Greek store but also seen it on line. It gives the lamb a slightly sweet tangy taste."

Oh, ~Rita~, this is a winner. I've always loved garlic and rosemary with lamb, and the pomegranate just really added a lovely layer of sweet and tart hiding just below the surface. I couldn't get the particular pomegranate juice you recommended, so I made a reduction of some regular Pom juice. I think next time, I might try it with a pomegranate cherry blend. It struck me as tasty. Thanks so much for sharing this.

This was so easy and so tasty. I used pomegranate juice as I could not find the concentrate. The Lamb was tender and juicy and oh so flavorful. Thanks for sharing.

I could not get the Cortas Pomegranate juice so I used the juice out of fresh pomegranate and a little port. Port was mention when I went to substitutions site. Then I did everything else as per recipe and refrigerated for 5 hours. I cooked this in my turbo grill/oven as I don't have to turn anything over in this so find it easier. They came out very moist and tasty.
