Grilled Lamb With Tomato-Basil Marinade

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 2/3 cup red wine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 leaves fresh basil, cut into ribbons and chopped
• 8 1-inch-thick loin lamb chops
• sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

1. Mix tomato paste, red wine, olive oil, garlic, and basil in a small bowl to make the marinade.
2. Place lamb chops in a glass or ceramic container; paint both sides thoroughly with the marinade. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
4. Wipe most the marinade off the lamb, leaving a light coating. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Grill lamb until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
