List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup red wine
  
• 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  
• 1 lemon, peel only, cut into strips
  
• 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 tsp fresh thyme
  
• 2 tsp fresh mint
  
• 3/4 tsp fresh-ground pepper
  
• 8 lamb rib chops (about 2 pounds)
  
• 1 green pepper, cut lengthwise into eighths
  
• 1 red pepper, cut lengthwise into eighths
  
• 3 small onions, peeled and quartered
  
• 8 cherry tomatoes
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  






Instructions



1. Combine red wine, 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic, 2 teaspoons thyme, mint, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a baking dish. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and set aside. Add lamb chops to the remaining marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning meat over halfway through to be sure it is thoroughly marinated.
   
   
2. Heat grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot. Remove chops from the marinade, pat dry, and set aside. Combine the peppers, onions, tomatoes, remaining olive oil, reserved marinade, salt, remaining pepper, and thyme sprigs in a large bowl and toss to coat.
   
   
3. Grill vegetables until just softened, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from heat and keep warm. Grill the chops, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Divide evenly among 4 plates and serve immediately with grilled vegetables.
