Years ago, we were visiting my parents for Easter. Growing up, leg of lamb wasn’t an uncommon Easter entrée. My mom would stud it with slivers of garlic before roasting then she’d serve it with that Day-Glo green mint jelly. But the hubby’s family tradition was ham. Lamb was never on the menu. In fact, I’m not sure he had ever tasted lamb before that holiday. I crossed my fingers and hoped that he wouldn’t need to drown it in ketchup to choke it down. The carnivore in him prevailed, and he loved it.

Fast forward a few years. One of my friends recommended Julia Child’s leg of lamb recipe, which was basically a rub of garlic, mustard, lemon juice, soy, and herbs. Since grill season was in full force, I decided to buy some lamb chops, marinate them this concoction and have the hubby grill them to a perfect medium rare. No mint jelly needed, though it was no surprise that my sidekick did get out the ketchup!

So next time you see some lovely lamb chops at the market, you’ll definitely want to snatch them up, marinate them overnight and then fire up your grill. You’ll have a flavorful meal featuring grilled lamb chops with mustard, rosemary, and garlic.
