INGREDIENTS:

Dry Rub

• 1/2 TBSP Chipotle Powder

• 1 TBSP Granulated Garlic

• 1 TBSP Chili Powder

• 2 TBSP Salt

Strawberry Basil Glaze

• 1/4 cup Verbena Roasted Chili Olive Oil

• 1/4 cup Verbena Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar

• 1/4 tsp Granulated Garlic

• 1/4 tsp Salt

• 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves

• Optional: 1 TBSP Fresh or Frozen Strawberries

• Using an emersion blender, blend together until the glaze thickens.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F

2. Coat skillet with olive oil and heat on medium high heat. When the pan is hot place your lamb chops in the pan. You'll want the chops to sizzle as you place them in the pan.

3. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown . The best way to achieve this beautiful color is by having the pan at the right temp; if it is to hot and they will look burnt and to cool will make them look pale.

4. Once they are golden brown place them in a greased baking dish and drizzle the glaze over them. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.

5. To serve the lamb chops, drizzle them with more glaze and top them off with some fresh berries and basil.
