Directions

  1. Mix tomato paste, red wine, olive oil, garlic, and basil in a small bowl to make the marinade.

  2. Place lamb chops in a glass or ceramic container, paint both sides thoroughly with the marinade. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Wipe most the marinade off the lamb, leaving a light coating. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  5. Grill lamb until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
