Lon’s friend Justin gave us some lamb shoulder chops the other day and I thought hmm, interesting. I had never had lamb shoulder chops before. I made them for lunch today and I’m hooked. It’s a great cut of meat!!
I needed to make a quick lunch with the 1/2 inch thick lamb shoulder chops so I decided to rub them with a Moroccan Spice Blend. Use a generous amount and then throw them on a the grill for 4 minutes per side (for medium rare).
I served it with an amazingly refreshing Mango Raita which was perfect with the strongly spiced lamb. While I can’t take credit for the recipes, I can take credit for the pairing. It was a such a great meal, you won’t believe you made it in less than 2o minutes!
have i told you about my issues with lamb? my family owns a farm, so i grew up frolicking in the fields with the little cuties, so i haven’t yet been able to bring myself to eat lamb. i know, i know, i’m missing out. hopefully i’ll get past this mental block soon. 🙂
curd or yougurt based salads like raita are a good pairing with red meats
Grace, I completely understand. I certainly wouldn’t eat a dog.
Kalyan, indeed, especially spicy red meat.
