I'm not sure when it happened, but lamb has become one of my favorite meats to eat. I used to be weird about it, thinking it was far too gamy. However, I realized I was wrong.
I was trying to figure out what this week's
Sunday BBQ should be, when I realized that we haven't talked about grilled lamb. For some reason, many people think of lamb as difficult and exotic, however it's really quite easy — if you can do pork chops, you can do lamb chops — and is wonderfully delicious. This particular recipe calls for a wonderful pomegranate marinade, you should let it soak overnight if you can, but don't worry if you can't.
I used to save lamb chops for holidays, but then I realized that they can be just as delicious grilled to perfection and served with a homemade salsa. Lamb chops are actually wonderful when you are short on time because they cook in under 20 minutes. Tonight, serve these chops with a quick cooking rice and a simple, chunky tomato sauce.
