Dip lamb chops into the mixture to coat evenly.

Cover chops and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let infuse the herb flavour.

Preheat grill.

Place lamb chops on grill over a medium high heat. Grill about 5 minutes per side.

Remove the chops from the grill when you reach an internal temperature of 140 F.

And as always, let the meat rest for a few minutes before you serve it.

For the sauce, melt butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat.

Add onions and garlic and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Adjust seasonings.

Stir in a wine and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for at least one hour, or until mixture thickens and reduces to approximately half cup. The glacier is the consistency of sauce.
