For a simple treatment like this, your lamb chops need to be top quality. Salt marsh lamb, from the Romney Marsh and Wales, has a wonderful distinct flavour. Or you could try chops from a hogget, which is a 12-month-old lamb (halfway between lamb and mutton). These are really tasty.
Ingredients
- 8-12 best end (rib) or loin lamb chops, cut about 3 cm thick
