These lamb chops remind me of my time on Corfu. After we'd close the restaurant late at night, we'd grill up a batch, and set them in the middle of the table for everyone to nibble on in between stories or songs. They're also delicious with a dollop of Pistachio Gremolata or pesto, or on a bed of bulgur with our All-Purpose French Lentils. Add a small side salad, and you have a pretty perfect dinner.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
