Thanks for joining us for Craving Ellie in My Belly.  I hope you will give this recipe a try and leave your comments about it both here and at CEimB.

Many cuts of lamb, both American and New Zealand, are readily available in the markets in my area.  That has not always been the case.  It used to be that whenever I could find it, it was also very expensive and not something I could justify cost-wise.  My family always enjoyed it whenever I could get it, however.  We now have lamb available from one of our local Farmer’s Markets which is especially nice.

This is an excellent introductory tutorial about the cuts of lamb.

We loved these chops…we’ve actually had them prepared this way many times.  It’s easy, flavorful, and did I say, “easy?”  I served it with grilled asparagus, roasted new yellow gold potatoes,  and  tabouleh salad with cherry tomatoes and cucumber.   I probably should have served a green salad instead, but I already had the tabouleh ready when I decided to add the potatoes.  Oh well.  So it goes.   The only alterations that I made to the recipe were to add an additional tablespoon of chopped garlic and about 2 Tablespoons of chopped rosemary because I really like those herbs with lamb.  YUM!  (Plus my herbs needed a haircut:)

    Thank you for sharing this. I love rosemary and garlic with lamb too; they are great herbs for it. I also like oregano with it (on its own, not with the rosemary as well). We had it in Greece and it is lovely.

    You know I never cooked lamb! I have enjoyed it in Greek restaurants…maybe I need to try this one out!
