Had it with the Food Channel...

Thanks! I have my rosemary plant ready to go with it when I cook it. Do you marinate with the rosemary or throw it in the pan with the oil, Maybe both? I was told to get mint jelly to go with it but I don't think I would like that.

I got the chops for a good price at my favorite Spanish store and they look good. I'll let you guys know when I cook them.

Yes, I forgot to mention the mint jelly. I don't care for that at all, though. As for the rosemary, I kinda rub it into the meat a little, rather hard to do w/rosemary but it always came out pretty good.

I love lamb, but unfortunately I'm in the minority in this house. I usually just buy a half leg boneless roast rather than chops, since the chops are so expensive. I don't like mint jelly with it or rosemary. so I just score the top of the roast and stuff fresh sliced onion in the scores, and sprinkle with pepper and roast. Dee-lish!!!!

I'd do some olive oil, rosemary, pepper, salt and lemon in a marinade.

POM,

What do you do for sides?

I personally like roasted potatoes with the lamb. Don't peel them - just dice them up and throw them in the same pan with the meat. Also - anything apple is good - such as spiced apples, or maybe a baked stuffing with apple, onions and celery. Just about anything goes good with lamb IMO.

Ok - now I'm hungry for lamb! Since I seldom use my oven in the summer even tho I have central air, I'm thinking of another way to fix it.

How about cooking it with indirect heat on the gas grill? Throw on some fresh corn on the cob when it's almost done, and serve with some nice homemade potato salad, and a salad of fresh tomatoes and onions in olive oil.

Who wants to join me???

I watched parts of last night's TVFN show.

I really think that these shows do not pick the best people for the shows.

Why do they pick the mentally defective? I have to laugh when people get emotional over a salad? A pea? An imperfect egg?

I guess you could, in theory, season a dish with tears?
