Serves:: 2

ingredients

2 (4 -6 ounce) lamb chops
salt
ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can white beans or (15 ounce) can red beans
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and minced fine
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons water
¹⁄₄ cup creme fraiche
6 -8 basil leaves, chopped

directions

Sprinkle the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Broil, grill, or cook on a grill pan until desired doneness, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans. Put olive oil, rosemary and garlic in a skillet; heat until garlic is fragrant. Add beans and water. Simmer until water boils off and beans are soft. Stir in the creme fraiche, turn heat up to high, and cook, stirring constantly, until beans are coated and creamy, 3-4 minutes. Off heat, stir in most of the basil (save a little to garnish).
Divide the beans between warmed plates. Top each portion with a lamb chop, then sprinkle with reserved basil and serve.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
