* 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary * 1/4 teaspoon dried basil * 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme * salt and pepper to taste * 4 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick) * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1/4 cup minced shallots * 1/3 cup aged balsamic vinegar * 3/4 cup chicken broth * 1 tablespoon butter
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter. 3. Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.

4 cups diced rhubarb 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, and halved, if large 1 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons orange zest 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 cup orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau)(optional)you can use just orange juice 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup light brown sugar Pinch salt
In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, orange zest, cornstarch and orange liqueur, and toss to thoroughly combine. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared casserole.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 9 tablespoons of butter, flour, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar and salt and cut together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake until the topping is golden brown and crispy and fruit is bubbly in places, about 45 minutes.
Cool briefly and serve warm, with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or creme fraiche, if desired.
