Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium red onion chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5-oz.
  • 5 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 jar salsa verde 16-oz.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 lamb chops or use 8 petite lamb chops, 6-oz.

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate lamb chops overnight or for at least 5 hours (see recipe).
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except lamb chops; blend thoroughly.
  • Place lamb chops in a large zipper-topped plastic bag and pour tomato/salsa mixture on top. Seal bag and refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours.
