LAMB CHOPS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Busy day today.  So must get going.  Today I have a most wonderful recipe for little Lamb Chops.  Had them fixed this way for the first time a few years ago at a Raider game.  Parking lot food before the game.  And let me tell you they were spectacular.  Easy to make and bursting with flavor.

LAMB CHOPS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Go to Costco and they have the little racks of lamb that you can slice into thin chops.  These work the best. I think they have them at Trader Joe's also.  These really work great because they are thin and cook up in minutes.  But if you prefer you can use regular chops.

Serves 4

Rack of Lamb cut into chops.  If the thin ones figure on 4 per person
Olive oil.  1/2 cup
Oregano dried.  1 teaspoon
4 chopped garlic cloves
WEBER Grind 'N Grill roasted garlic and herbs seasoning.  It is in a grinder like pepper.  Find it in the spice section.  You will use it often.
1 package of wild baby arugula
juice and zest of one lemon
olive oil

Season the chops on both sides with a good amount of the seasoning.  In a plastic bag put the olive oil, garlic, oregano.  Put the chops in and refrigerate for no less than an hour.  When ready to cook, grill on the bar-b-que or stove top grill for about two minutes on each side.  Longer if the chops are thick.  Mix the salad with lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper.  Put a handful on each plate.  Stand 4 chops on top of the salad and serve.  So good!  When you use these little thin ones they can also be an appetizer for a "small plates" party.  I hope you try them soon.

Thanks for stopping in today
