Pan-seared Lamb Shoulder Chops



I never really cared for lamb until I went to Ireland, and Ireland was where I really discovered Lamb. The few times I had lamb I thought the flavor was so strong,it was served with this awful mint jelly. I just didn't like it. After trying it a few times in Ireland, grilled and properly cooked I changed my tune pretty fast. The 1st time I had it it was grilled and served with a simple mint pesto, I thought I died and went to heaven. Something so simple, was so delicious and who knew you could make a pesto from mint.. I find the secret of cooking lamb is in the tenderizing and marinating. Lamb has a strong flavor. Don't try to hide it, complement it with Garlic, olive oil, wine, mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, pepper, mustard's and curries add so much flavor to the lamb. This recipe is so simple so quick and so delicious. Try it you may like it!!!
