Sunday Dinner Series, 27-January

(Aileen)
Enough cannot be said about a good lamb chop. Gamey, tasty, soft, delicious. In the
Small household, we particularly enjoy chump chops from Dove’s. We flash fry the chops in a hot pan with olive oil and butter, until seared and the fat trim is slightly rendered. Doused with a healthy dose of cracked sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper, it’s lip smacking simple fair goodness.
