Notes

  • Recipe slightly adapted from Julia’s Album blog.
  • When you pick your lamp chops, choose chops that are about an inch thick, with a fine grain and smooth fat.
  • Bring the cut of lamb to room temperature before you start cooking so they cook evenly. 
  • Make sure you marinate the lamb in the fridge if you are marinating it for over 30 minutes.
  • To store: Store leftover lamb chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: You can reheat leftovers on the stove or in the microwave. 
  • To freeze: Freeze the cooked lamb chops in an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
