Lamb Chops
Are lamb chops the perfect protein? I sure think so. It is the entire reason I got into the sheep business to start with! Sure I still love a great steak, but don’t give me a choice at the same time or more than likely I am taking lamb chops every time. One thing I need to mention before I go any further, DO NOT OVERCOOK! This recipe below is basically fool proof and what I send people who say they don’t like lamb or don’t know how to cook. Not one person has failed yet. So if you are one of those, this is the lamb chop recipe for you. Same recipe works for loin chops or rib chops which for me I use interchangeably. The loin chop is the “T” bone chop. The rib chop is the classical meat attached to a rib bone.
