3 shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chopped basil
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
To Assemble:
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 (3 ounce) lamb chops
or 4 (6 ounce) chops
salt to taste
For marinade, place shallots, garlic, ginger, vinegar, lemon, zest, and concentrate.
Mix well.
Add syrup and olive oil and again mix.
Season with herbs and pepper.
Place the lamb chops in the marinade and let sit for about 1-3 hours.
Oil and heat the grill.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade.
Make sure to let the chops drain a bit before you grill so that the marinade with not cause the grill to flair up.
You can brush the chops with the leftover marinade while grilling.
For the smaller chops gill about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare to medium doneness.
Depending on the thickness, grill the 6 ounce chops for about the same time.
Serve warm with oven roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
