How to Sear Lamb Chops

Notes

WHERE CAN I BUY LAMB? 

There are a couple of ways to find out where to buy lamb
  1. ask your local butcher. If they don't have one they can tell you where to get it or when they will have it in stock. 
  2. fill out this where to buy form and they will send a complete list of grocers and butchers in your area. 
My lamb is simple truth which is a brand carried in Kroger stores. If you live by a Kroger check or ask their grocers/ butchers.
