Tricia and Dave Had a Little Lamb


Happy Saturday everyone! It's freezing here in the Ocean State today, and everyone in New England is gearing up for the big Patriots/Denver AFC playoff game going down tonight.

I myself am looking forward to staying in to watch the game and have been thinking all week about what delicious dinner I can cook up for it. I haven't settled on the specific dish just yet, but I did want to share what I whipped up for lucky Dave last Saturday when he came over to blog.

I love lamb anytime of year, but in the winter it's a great alternative when you're craving a steak and potatoes kind of dinner, makes dinner a little fancier me thinks. So I headed out to my butcher shop and picked up 4 lamb chops with the bone. This was super easy to throw together, I marinated them for a couple of hours in the following:

-olive oil
-chopped mint
-chopped garlic, fresh
-lemon zest
-salt and pepper


You can throw these on a grill pan, medium high heat until your desired doneness.

What to drink with lamb you ask? Any one of your favorite reds will do, lamb is pretty red wine friendly. Dave and I washed our lamb chops down with some pinot noir.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Dave and Trish
