Herb Roasted Lamb Chops

Dh and i made this recipe from the february 2009 edition of bon appetit a few nights ago and really enjoyed it. we usually prepare our lamb chops on the grill, but i thought that this recipe would lend itself well when grilling is just not practical. i am posting the recipe as printed in bon appetit, however, dh suggested that next time i chop the rosemary and thyme leaves, rather than lightly crush them with my mortar and pestel. prep time includes marinating time.

Steps

Mix first 4 ingredients and 1 tb olive oil in a large bowl.
Add lamb.
Turn to coat.
Let marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400f.
Heat remaining 1 tb olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
Add lamb.
Cook until browned , about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast lamb chops to desired doneness , about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
Transfer lamb to platter , cover , and let rest 5 minutes.

Ingredients

garlic cloves, fresh thyme leave, fresh rosemary leaf, kosher salt, extra virgin olive oil, lamb loin chops
