Lamb shoulder blade chops
I found a package of lamb shoulder blade chops, each with a nice bit of
meat on them, three for under $8. Took them out to thaw for tomorrow's dinner. If the weather isn't rainy tomorrow I plan to grill them. If it's rainy (which is likely) I'll use the grill pan on the stove top. Either way I'll brush them with a bit of neutral oil, S&P and some minced garlic. And crushed dried rosemary and dried thyme. I used to dislike dried rosemary but that was dried rosemary which was like sharp pine needles. Finely crushed using a pestle and mortar and used *sparingly*, it's quite nice on lamb. I haven't decided what to cook with the lamb chops yet. Lots of things to choose from! Jill |

Probably about a pound or very slightly more total for the 3. Be sure to add 4 brussel sprouts (lightly oiled) to complete your meal. Send a pic else this a lie. Popeye told me this to watch out for. |

I know you don't care for anything like this but your chops made me think of it and now I have a craving. I'll have to look for lamb the next time I am at Albertsons. Albertsons because they cut up a whole lamb and sell all the pieces. Other supermarkets on my route by the pre-packaged, crovac'd stuff with just the top selling pieces of lamb. . . chops and leg. Dummies! Some of us want the other parts of a critter. Janet US |

Can't remember the last time I imbibed on lamb, it was many years ago...as a meat it's pretty much "off the radar" anymore...

What you have are the pork butt of lamb, but with a higher gristle to meat ratio. They can be pretty tough and don't take well to quick grilling, IMO. I would season and grill, then wrap in foil and bake or keep over a low grill to break down some of that gristle/fat. |

Whichever bridge we take, I think it's going to be rough Bonus is the restaurant has the best fried clams you could ever want. |

But hey, brussels sprouts are a fine idea! I'll make and eat a lot more than 4 of them (buttered). Thanks for the suggestion. https://i.postimg.cc/0yfgHzFv/lambchops.jpg If you can read the label, the suggested preparation method is *grilling*, despite what others have posted. At this point the weather is questionable but cooking outdoors is not essential. Will I post a pic of the finished chops? Only time (and my mood) will tell. Jill |

Thanks for the suggestion. Good morning, Jill. Wasn't teasing at all. 4 brussel sprouts cut in half then roasted would be plenty for me. As far as those chops? Plenty of meat on each one for me again. I would pan fry them just like a steak. Nice marbling on those. For a full meal, I would only maybe add a baked potato and a buttered roll. Most meals these days for me don't even include meat but when I do have it, about 1/3 pound is plenty. |

I've got some new potatoes which I'll be par boiling, then place on a baking sheet, smash and drizzled with oil, sprinkled with S&P and some dried dill then roasted in the oven. It just started raining so (as I suspected) cooking outdoors is out of the question. Not that it's essential in any case. I'll likely use my cast iron skillet on the stove top. And yes, there's plenty of meat on those lamb chops. Not too much fat, really. I'd expect the same amount of marbling in a good steak. > Most meals these days for me don't even include meat but when I > do have it, about 1/3 pound is plenty. >I don't have to eat meat with every meal but I do like it.

I don't why she would day shoulder chops were not good candidates for the BBQ. IMO that is the best way to do any lamb chops, and especially shoulder chops. |
