  1. These lamb chops look like they’re worth a burned finger or two! Very simple flavours, but that’s exactly how it ought to be to let the lamb shine. Must try these before grilling season is over.

  2. 5 minutes a side would destroy these lamb chops. Seriously, or you may need to work on your fire making skills. I had these last night and it was 3 minutes a side maximum. I like the recipe however.

  3. Younger lambs are smaller and more tender. Mutton is meat from a sheep over two years old, and has less tender flesh. In general, the darker the colour, the older the animal. Baby lamb meat will be pale pink, while regular lamb is pinkish-red.`””.
