    Garlic Basil Lamb Chops

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I never tried lamb growing up. I don't think my mother or grandmother ever made it, but even if they had, I'm sure I wouldn't have eaten it as a child. I was THE WORLD'S PICKIEST EATER! It wasn't until much later, in my early twenties while working in the food service of a private boarding school that I finally tried it. The chef probably made it for the school Presidents Dinner or a function like that, and although I remember trying it then, I wouldn't have it again for years. Then recently while I was grocery shopping I saw a few packages of lamb chops, and thought, why not?

     

    Garlic-Basil-Lamb-Chops

     

    The inspiration for this recipe came from my 50+ Quick Summer Dinners collection and the view from great island's Lemon Thyme Lamb Chops. These lamb chops are quick, and really easy! I used basil because I grow it in my garden every summer, but thyme does work, too. I decided to roast slices of  lemon right along with the lamb, and served it over a bed of fresh spinach. The spinach you see on the plate was pretty much the extent of the spinach that grew this Spring. I'm going to try again in the Fall and see if it does better then. Last year when I planted spinach in the Spring nothing but weeds grew. Turns out, I am incredibly good at growing weeds.
