    Let's Chat Lamb

    I love lamb.  Its such a tender, flavorful meat. American Lamb is raised by farmers and ranchers who care for their land and animals. When you choose American Lamb, you support the nation’s shepherds and their families and help to sustain working farmland and farm communities. These family farmers and ranchers throughout the U.S. are passionate about providing you with high quality, flavorful lamb in a way that sustains our industry, supports our communities, and preserves our land and resources for future generations.  Raising sheep improves the quality of our land, supports rural communities, and provides food and fiber for the nation.

    Tell Me How To Buy Lamb Chops

    The chops you choose should have a light red, finely textured meat with smooth, white fat. Marbling is not as important with lamb as it is with beef, but the fat on your chops should be evenly distributed. Also, the chops should be a little bit more than an inch thick.

    What Type of Lamb Chops Should I Use?

    There are a few types of lamb chops - any will work for this recipe.

    • Tender rib chops are cut from the rack and the long rib bone provides a delicate effect on the plate.
    • Sirloin chops are tiny T-bone steaks with a generous ratio of meat-to-bone.  This is what I used here.
    • Wallet-friendly shoulder chops have the bone-in elegance of their counterparts with a more toothsome texture that’s great for braising.

    What Should I Serve With Easy Lamb Chops?

    I've used a feta cream sauce to top these chops with, so the flavors are on the Mediterranean side.  I like to pair this dish with roasted potatoes and a salad.  Some other great options would be:

    • Summer Corn Salad
    • Summer Asparagus Salad
    • Lemon Pesto Cauliflower Rice
    • Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Bacon

        Sorry about that, I will correct. Sour cream and greek yogurt can generally be used for the same thing.
