Delicious lamb chop marinade

The barometer of good food for me lately is: Would I serve this to Anthony Bourdain?

I make so many frou frou cakes and baked nonsense, that oftentimes the answer is no.

But tonight, the answer is yes.

I have always had a soft spot for lamb chops; and indeed, they led to my downfall as a vegetarian. A bite of lamb broke my nearly two year fast from meat, and I haven't really looked back since.

Tom and I bought some chops at Whole Foods last night, and today he found a great marinade recipe. In a nutshell: 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, a healthy amount of smashed and chopped up garlic, 2 tsp of sea salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper, and some thinly sliced onion.

It seemed like it would be too much salt, and too much pepper. But it was delicious.

It took two passes on the grill to get it from raw to nicely pink.  It was perfect.  I will make this for you when you come to dinner, Anthony Bourdain.
