How about like lamb rib chops? We like to just rub a little
fresh-chopped garlic on them, and either a little olive oil or soy
sauce, and maybe a little fresh thyme, and broil them. Pretty tasty,
even if not very exotic. You can exotic with the wine. Broiled lamb
really complements the taste of a good red.

     One of my favorites for lamb is the following,
    
    
    	1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
    	1/2 Dry Sherry
    	1-2 TBsps of Horseradish
    	1-2 TBsps of Brown Sugar
    	3-5 Cloves of garlic cruched
    	1 tsp of Rosemary 
    
    	Mix all of the above and marinate the lamb for 2-3 hours or even
    	overnight. Drain and reserve the marinde and either fry, grille,
        or broil the lamb until medium-rare. Heat the marinade until it
        boils and thicken with alittle corn starch. Serve with a full
        bodied red wine.
    
    	I also replace the soy sauce with ketup mantis <sweet soy sauce you
        can get at Joyce Chen's> and delete the sugar. It gives the lamb
        a very different taste.
    
    	Another simple way for chops is to rub in some fresh rosemary and
    	olive oil and quickly grille them over high heat. Very simple and
        classic preparation.

Get a leg of lamb deboned and butterflied.  Make a marinade from:

garlic
oregano
olive oil
black pepper
red wine

adjust portions of the above to taste, let meat marinate overnight.  Either
grill the butterflied meat or reroll and tie and rotisserie.  I have served 
this to people who claim to hate lamb and they love it!!!!
2844.4Yum! - I love lamb!CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSONFri Jan 11 1991 15:0210
    My family loves lamb - about the only red meat we eat.  We broil the
    loin chips (rib chops, too), with a little bit of rosemary rubbed on
    them.  You don't really need to rub any extra oil over them since they
    have quite a bit of encasing fat (we put a little water in the bottom
    of the broiler pan if we are cooking indoors to make cleanup easier).
    I like the chops medium; I think they are more falvorful if you don't
    cook them until they are grey all the way through.  Come to think about
    it, tonight's dinner is slated to be lamb chops!

2844.5definately the best of the best...ASABET::C_AQUILIAMon Jan 14 1991 11:4321
i printed out the recipes in this file but forget them at work on friday
so i opted for the recipe in my joy of cooking book which is as follows:

3/4 cup red wine 
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme (called for oregano, i wanted rosemary but had neither so
                  i used thyme)
2 cloves garlic minced
15 peppercorns

mix all marinade ingredients together and marinate 4-6 loin lamb chops
in the refrigerator for several hours.  broil 2 inches from heat 10-12
minutes per side for medium rare.

served with potatoes anna and sauteed green beans this piece of lamb was
like a piece of tenderloin steak.  the chops are about 3 inches thick so
two chops per person is more than enough.. even though you wouldn't think
it.  they also need to be broiled a bit away from the flame as there is
a bit of grease in the pan when broiling.  thickness in the meat does call
for it to be broiled the time above too.  enjoy!  bon appetite'!

2844.6I know bigger is better but....VAXWRK::SWARDCommon sense is not that commonMon Jan 14 1991 14:347
    
    Are you sure about the "3 inches thick"? 3 cm? If they are 3 inches
    thick they must contain more than one rib apice, right?
    
    Do we have a language problem here?

                                \
                               \
                              \
                             \

2844.8a suggestion from lamb landSNOC01::DAVISSTUARTTue Jan 22 1991 10:0810
    Well, I am close enough to New Zealand to be almost an expert--- leaave
    the loin whole, soak in a marinade of good red wine for 24 hours (some
    of us prefer eating to drinking!) then roast with a liberal sprinkling
    of roasmary at a low temp (300F ) until lightly browned but pink
    inside. It's not raw, just retained the juices. Let stand for 10-15
    minutes before carving.
    Serve with a sauce made with a good vinegar, fresh mint and a touch of
    sugar.
    Individual chops are wonderful if simply BBQed, not incinerated, with
    aromatic wood such as hickory .
