Cook The Book: Grilled Marinated Lamb Chops With Giant White Beans

• 1 rack of lamb, cut into 8 chops
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
• 2 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 bay leaf, crushed
• 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
• 1 cup dried giant Peruvian white beans, soaked overnight
• 2 cups extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Season the chops with salt and pepper. Lay the chops flat next to one another in a nonreactive 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the onion, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Pour in the red wine. Turn the chops over, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once halfway through.
2. To prepare the beans, place them in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, 45 to 60 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200u0b0F.
4. Drain the beans and transfer to an 8-inch baking dish.
5. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
6. Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
7. Remove the chops from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange on the grill and cook until nicely browned and grill marked. 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120u0b0F when inserted into the thickest part.
8. To serve, divide the beans among warmed plates. Drizzle some of the garlic-rosemary-infused oil from the pan over the beans. Place the grilled chops on top of the plated beans. Serve immediately.
