I think I have said it before but let me say it again I LOVE lamb. Lamb chops are really quick and easy to cook, most of the cooking time for this recipe is needed for the reduction but if you are in a rush just enjoy the chops alone in all their glory. In Jamaica lamb chops aren’t cheap but they are truly worth the splurge every now and then. I do not advise that you try and be dainty with lamb chops, pick them up by the bone and feel free to fulfill your primal urge to tear up the meat. On another note these bones are perfect for toy breeds, Ciabatta (my pomeranian mixed with papillon) loves them.
Grilled Lamb Chops with Red Wine Reduction
With regards to eating healthily, I read that we should limit eating meat to two times per week. I am not sure how that would work out for me but I am definitely going to work on eating more fish. The good news is lamb is relatively low in fat and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, especially zinc and iron, which are easily absorbed.
