Succulent Lamb Chops

I have warm and happy memories of  my mother serving on special occasions lamb chops, seasoned with salt and broiled to perfection. Lamb Chops with black mission fig balsamic are simple to make, savory and delicious. The sweetness of the balsamic pairs beautifully with the savory lamb and shallots. I know my mother would have loved this dish, so perfect for special occasions.
