Ingredients

2 teaspoons rosemary

1 teaspoon thyme leaves

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup dry white wine

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

8 loin lamb chops, cut 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick, trimmed

Mix rosemary, thyme, black pepper, garlic powder and salt in a bowl. Add onion, orange juice, white wine and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Whisk together and reserve 1/2 cup marinade mixture for later use.

Place lamb chops in a self-closing plastic bag; add marinade. Turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes. Remove lamb from marinade and blot dry with a paper towel. (Do not remove onion pieces from chops).

Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb in skillet. Sear one side of lamb approximately 4 minutes or until well browned. Turn chops over and cook 4 minutes longer or until desired doneness. Add reserved marinade and simmer 2 minutes. Remove lamb to a serving plate. Pour reduced marinade over lamb.
