Marinated Lamb Chops
This is our favorite recipe that I've been making for almost 14 years. The tang of the vinegar helps tenderize the lamb and is the perfect counterbalance to the gaminess. The flavors of rosemary, garlic and mustard are rich and delicious. I always buy extra to make sure everyone has enough!
