Caramelized lamb chops and onions

Ingredients

• 16 cipollini onions, trimmed
• 15 mL (1 tbsp.) fresh thyme finely chopped
• 15 mL (1 tbsp.) fresh oregano finely chopped
• 45 mL (3 tbsp.) cider vinegar
• 75 mL (1/3 cup) honey
• 8 (about 75 g each) lamb chops
• 30 mL (2 tbsp.) olive oil
• To taste, salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Combine olive oil, honey, cider vinegar, thyme and oregano in a bowl. Set aside 60 mL (1/4 cup) of marinade.
2. Place onions in a shallow container with airtight lid and pour in reserved marinade. Close and shake to coat onions. Place lamb chops in a similar container and add remaining marinade. Close and shake to coat meat.
3. Marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
4. Remove onions and lamb chops from marinade and drain well. Place onions and lamb chops on pre-oiled lower barbecue grill. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until onions are lightly browned and tender inside, and meat is slightly pink. Salt and pepper to taste.
