Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. brown the lamb chops in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. place the lamb chops on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the lamb is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees f (63 degrees c).
• while the lamb chops are baking, pour the riesling into the skillet, and bring to a simmer, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all of the browned bits of lamb. simmer until the has reduced to half its original volume then add the peaches and sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the peaches are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. spoon the peach sauce over the lamb chops to serve.
