I have been wanting a hearty meal for a while and I came upon this recipe in the Cooking Light Nov. issue. It had been a long time since I have had lamb and I can say that is becoming a favorite of mine. Lamb rib chops tend to be a little more fatty so you can trim before you cook or after. I chose to trim after the meat cooked so that it was a little more tender. ENJOY!!
