What a beautiful presentation this dish will be at your next holiday dinner.  Grilled lamb is a Hendricks family dinner tradition during the holidays and we look forward to this tasty gourmet meal.   Many people think lamb is difficult to prepare but it is really very simple, especially with this recipe.  When buying lamb, it can be purchased in racks or as individual chops. Ask the butcher to cut the rack into chops for you.  Never had lamb?  Go outside the box and try this delicious meat!  It’s that good.   Each chop contains approximately 2 – 3 ounces of meat, up to 20 grams of protein, depending on size of chop.
