Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about Grilled Lamb Chops. Don and I love lamb, especially chops. How about you? Do you love them?
We do try to buy local when we can, but no matter what time of year, locally grown lamb is always more expensive than Australian lamb. In our area of the Shenandoah Valley there are not many sheep farmers. We have loads of turkey farmers—and a sign proclaiming Rockingham County (Virginia) is the turkey capital of the world—but not many lambs. When lamb is available, I stock up and put some in the freezer. I’m thankful I did that a few months ago.
Lamb tastes great with sweet potatoes, lentils, rice—just about anything.
One good thing about Virginia is we have a bit milder weather with less snow, so we can usually grill out most days. Don is the grill master. Although I can do it, I prefer to let him handle grilling outside. The meat tastes so good when grilled on our Char-Broil Grill (which Don loves, by the way), but if I make meat, I use my personal favorite girl, the George Foreman Indoor Grill, a skillet on top of the stove, or the oven. With the George Foreman Indoor Grill, it takes about half the time to grill a chop (or any meat) as it does to make it outside. That’s because it cooks both sides at the same time.
Grilled Lamb Chops will be delicious with a little mint jelly, some steamed asparagus and Oven Browned Potatoes. Sounds like a fabulous New Year’s Eve supper, aina?

This looks delicious, and I plan to try it soon. We love mint jelly with lamb. My father used to get so frustrated when restaurants didn’t have mint jelly to go with their lamb dishes that he started carrying jars of it around in the trunk of his car.
Thank you, Elizabeth! Don loves mint jelly with his lamb, too. I tend to like my meat rather plain most of the time. I love your comment about your dad. Sweet.
