Lamb Chops With White Beans And Gremolata

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pat lamb chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly spray a large shallow flameproof casserole or possibly heavy ovenproof skillet (about 12 inches in diameter) with vegetable oil and heat over moderately high heat till warm but not smoking. In a casserole brown lamb chops about 1 1/2 min on each side and transfer to a plate.
2. Add in onion to casserole and cook, stirring, over moderately low heat till softened. Add in tomatoes, garlic, and rosemary and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in broth and beans and simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 min.
3. Arrange lamb chops on top of bean mix and roast, uncovered, in middle of oven 5 min for medium-rare. Let lamb chops and bean mix stand, loosely covered, 5 min. Transfer lamb chops to another plate and toss bean mix with gremolata. Serve lamb chops with beans.
