Cassandra's Yummy Lamb Chops

SUBMITTED BY: Cassandra  PHOTO BY: Holly Chadwick 

"This dish is absolutely superb! I've always loved lamb and I bought it at the store not knowing what to do with it so I used my imagination. It's moist and tender, full of flavor and served best complimented with sauteed zucchini and rice."
