Lamb chops are tender, flavorful cuts from the rib or loin section. They offer a distinctive taste and are prized in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Rib chops come from the rib section and have a small eye of tender meat with a fatty cap. Loin chops come from the saddle and include a T-bone with meat on both sides, similar to a T-bone steak.
Lamb's distinctive flavor comes from branched-chain fatty acids in the fat. Younger lamb (spring lamb) has milder flavor. Trimming excess fat and using aromatics like rosemary can mellow the taste.
For medium-rare (most popular), cook to 130-135°F and let rest. Medium is 140-145°F. Unlike pork or chicken, lamb is safe and delicious when pink in the center.
Refrigerate for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 6 months. Cook to 145°F for medium-rare.
