From Every Day with Rachael Ray

SERVES 4
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
A handful of thin spaghetti (about 1/2 pound), broken into pieces
1 cup white rice
3 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper
One 9-ounce bag spinach, stemmed
2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup pomegranate juice
8 lamb rib chops

1. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, over medium heat. Add the spaghetti and toast until deeply golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rice, then stir in 2 1/2 cups chicken broth; season with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

2. While the rice is working, using a food processor, process the spinach into a paste. Stir into the rice and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Preheat the broiler. In a small skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over
medium heat.  Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 3 to 4
minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, pomegranate juice and remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

4. Coat the lamb chops with the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning once, until browned and medium-rare, about 5 minutes. Serve with the gravy and rice pilaf.
