In Italian the word scottadito means burned fingers. This dish is named scottadito because the lamb chops are so delicious that you can’t resist eating them sizzling hot, straight from the grill and burning your fingers.

Wow these look fantastic and your picture is gorgeous!! 🙂
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.
Great recipe – I quite like the etymology of scottadito! Certainly, I would burn myself trying to get ahold of one of these.
In Treviso, where I come from, they’re called scottadeo, which is dialect for scottadito!
Wow, these look simply AMAZING, do they taste as good as your picture makes them appear? i’m seriously salivating at the mouth now, lol

These chops look and sound delicious.Who cares about burnt fingers when something tastes great-bet they work on a bbq as well!

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.
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.`””.

Nice recipe, we use a slight variation here, we are in the Southwest in the middle of the Navajo Res and Lamb and Mutton is cooked all the time, also to a response to the end of grilling time, I grill when it is freezing out, if I could I would grill pancakes. Good Recipe.

This dish looks like a celebration…What a gorgeous abbacchio!!! I wish my fork would reach that plate.
Well, this takes me back! Lamb ribs chops have to be the most delicious meat of all. They really cry out for a simple treatment like this. I sometimes make scottadito with lard instead of olive oil, makes for a really savory result.
I probably cook lamb chops this way more than any other. I had a lovely cast iron ridged grill pan that went and cracked on me a year or two ago…. I have a replacement but it is a lighter metal. Still does a pretty great job though 🙂
