For many people, lamb is considered a holiday or special occasion meat, most likely served in the form of a rack of lamb or leg of lamb at easter or christmas. However, there are many cuts of lamb that are smaller, less expensive and allow for easier cooking methods. The chops are by far one of the most popular and widely available cuts of lamb. They typically come from either the rib or loin of the animal and butcher shops and grocery stores usually carry them in about a 4-ounce serving size. These perfectly portioned chops are easy to cook either on a grill or pan-fried.
