Grilled Lamb Loin Chops with Orzo Pasta and Carmelized Onions

Prep Time: 45 Minutes - Cost Per Serving Under $7

These grilled lamb loin chops are medium rare and perfect with the caramelized onions that help with gamey meats.  The orzo pasta has peas and mint which was a nice contrast to the heaviness of the lamb.

Henry found a deal on the lamb at the local supermarket 30% off which helped bring this dish in at under $7 per serving.

To start I began making the caramelized onions, I cut up 2 small onions and added them to a hot saute pan with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.  Once the onions have softened, reduce the flame to low add one tablespoon of sugar and continue to cook slowly stirring so the onions caramelize and get brownish in color, about 30 to 40 minutes.  Once brown, turn off the heat and they are ready for plating.

While the onions are cooking, I seasoned the lamb on both sides with salt and pepper and put them on the grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they got nice grill marks and were medium rare inside.  Once cooked i let the meat rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

For the Orzo pasta, I boiled the orzo until al dente, about 7 minutes.  In a large bowl I added 2 tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of butter, the juice and zest of one lemon, salt and pepper to taste. Tossed in the orzo once cooked and added defrosted peas and some chopped mint.
